Hey Senator Murray Watt The Livestock Collective have images relevant to current live export you could use instead of outdated propaganda! You can even take them up on a vessel tour to see for yourself our world leading animal welfare but it’s apparent you don’t care for reality. #KeepTheSheep

Thank you The Project for the opportunity to talk about #keepthesheep & the reality of the Bill that has been rushed through parliament. Removing Australia will not improve animal welfare globally & decreases the welfare of rural communities in WA KeepTheSheep The Livestock Collective

Today I kept replacing ‘keep’ with *beep* the sheep. If asked yesterday could I lift 750 lambs I would have said ‘hell no’ but today I did, big mad Dorset Xs & played 68mins of hockey. It didn’t quite break me but tomorrow may. Still wouldn’t have it any other way #keepthesheep

I presented at the WA Women in Farming “Embrace the journey” seminar on my journey in Ag & Advocacy. To turn the tide on the anti-ag agenda we must become advocates & share our stories on what we do & why we do it. If I can do it, anyone can 💚 Don’t forget shared values is key!
