  • The passing on of the Simmental passion with Charles and Peter Cowcher
    Feb 23 2023

    Here is the final instalment for Simmental's 50th Anniversary podcast series. Thank you for taking the time to listen to just a handful of the stories that have been a part of 50 years of the Australian Simmental Breeders Association.

    Last week we had a mother/daughter duo and this week we are sitting down with father/son. For this final episode, we are crossing the country to the far west of WA to sit down with Peter and Charles Cowcher.

    Charles has spent time on the board of the breed in the earlier years and has a deep love and continuing love for the breed. He’s still actively involved in their family business and alongside son Pete are passionate about the role of Simmy’s in their operation for years to come!


    If you have any feedback please feel free to get in touch with Felicity and we’ll chat to you soon.

  • How shows brought Lis and Bec Skene success, awards and love
    Feb 16 2023

    We’re celebrating 50 years of Simmy’s here in Australia and as part of it we are chatting to people who have been a part of seeing the breed to where it is today.

    This week I am joined by Lis & Bec Skene, a mother and daughter duo who have had a love of Simmy’s their whole lives.

    Their 1400 hectare operation runs across three properties in Cecil Plains and Kooroongarra districts of Darling Downs in Queensland.

    There’s some great moments in this chat and quite a few laughs as well. Listen to hear all about the pride they take in their cattle, their life in the show business, and a love story.

    Tune in next week for another episode, and follow the podcast to stay up to date with the series.

  • With family at the core, how John Burnett built a sustainable beef business
    Feb 9 2023

    Welcome back to the Australian Simmental Podcast, we have had some amazing guests so far and the stories have been remarkable.


    This weeks episode felt like we were just sitting on John’s verandah having a cracking yarn.

    John Burnett's family has been in the business for generations - they began purchasing their adjoining plots of land back in 1931, and almost a century later the Burnett cattle enterprise is still innovating.

    We chat about his family, of providing opportunities for each of their members, having belief in their business strategy and process and it’s a chat I feel like I could have just kept on having for hours and hours!


    Tune in next week for another episode, and follow the podcast to stay up to date with the series.
