View descriptionShare

Born in the 1940s at Casino in NSW, Geoff Lehman has cattle trading in his blood and by 17 was the youngest auctioneer in NSW. At 79 Geoff recalls a lifetime buying and selling cattle, property deals and standing up to the odd bank manager who didn't give him a fair deal. He loved working stock and recalls the days mustering cattle in the Northern Territory with aboriginal stockmen. Geoff drove a massive 135,000 miles a year and one year bought and sold 25,000 head, the most of any sole agent in the country. Geoff established feedlots, bought cattle for the Japanese market and helped cattlemen faced with foreclosure turn their business around, An altercation with a rogue bull ended his days in the agency business and Geoff and wife Gillian entered the motel business
