167. National Stock Dog Association with Gavin Carr

to

push it

just thinking out loud Um, is there like a national body for like a cattle breeders association? Like, um, like look at the dogs breeding association, for example, like you got dogs, New South Wales, and it doesn't matter.

It's breed specific.

It comes back and then you'd have state bodies and national bodies.

And then you got like shit, like the shearers association, for example, like, um, this is all beneficial for associations like that, that are giving back to, um, of youth and people coming through.

Like if there was like some stud, sheep stud breeders national association identity, the Shearers national identity, saying something for cattle, maybe some big associations like that would consider getting on board.

It's only buttering their bread as well at the end of the

day.

Eventually it'll, you know, people will start coming.

Once you get traction and, you know, you've got to show that you're successful.

You've got to, like, I've got a board that, you know, it's not just everyone in that board is very respectful.

They've got good morals, everything about them, their hearts are right.

So, you know, you set a standard in our group.

We've got a standard and then, you know, there'll be a trickling effect that'll come through and, you know, eventually we'll find them or they'll find us.

And you've got to remember too, Dan, you know, we're not going to be sitting on a lot of money.

And why I say that is because we're going to be putting it back where we need to be putting it.

And that's back into everything revolving about our industry and stuff and people and growth.

And it doesn't matter if they're 21 or 61.

Like, you know, eventually we want to impact a lot of people.

So the sponsorship we need, but... don't really want someone to cover the whole cost of the whole thing because then that takes away our fundraisers like those fundraisers are really important to impact a lot of people so we've got to make sure we don't get too comfortable that we've still got to

work

and

the only way to do that is

you know you get your mates together you pull people together and you get people to back you and um you know i've got a couple of mates one of the sort of sponsor and i said to them like straight out like you know we don't really want your money i want your time that's more valuable when we need you i want you to be there in our corner So hold on to some of your money and turn up when I need you on these fundraisers.
