Meet Annabelle - a 26-year-old from Beverley who was appointed head stockperson of the first live sheep export shipment to leave WA this season. Annabelle managed the health, welfare and physical needs of the sheep onboard. She also spoke to me about the importance of the trade.

A great shot from one of our lamb survival sites - a group of lambs seeking refuge from the wind by hiding between the shrubs! 🐑🌱

It wasn't easy but it feels more satisfying to tell my story than just worry about what will happen if they ban live sheep export.
