This episode is part two of our two-part chat with Anthony Shepherd. In the last episode, Anthony shared the lessons he’s learnt from his years as a farmer and sheep consultant and how changing his farming processes brought his weaning rates above 130%. 

In this episode, Anthony explains how he uses technology to improve his farming operation. He discusses how Smart Shepherd helps him spot multiple-bearing ewes that aren’t raising both twins and how he identifies underperforming ewes in the pursuit of a more productive flock.

Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach spoke with Anthony in his shearing shed to determine the difference between loving and admiring merinos.
