So we hear lots of kind of doom and gloom in agriculture, but it doesn't feel like that here, does it?

No, I think it's important that we recognise where we are and celebrate success, I suppose, as well.

We've got excellent farmers that are producing top quality meat.

And I think people are starting to understand the importance of meat as well in terms of its health benefits, you know, rich in zinc and vitamins.

and minerals.

So, you know, it is important part of a balanced diet.

Not only that, of course, we've got good prices as well for the farmers.

Have you identified what your focus is for the next year, year and a half?

I think I'm five weeks in and I think I'm still looking and seeing what needs to focus on.

But some of the things that are a bit worrying, I think, as an industry perspective, is the reduction in livestock numbers we've seen for many years.
