Fitness versus production and a journey of learning with Andrew Bouffler - Trigger Vale sheep studs

In this episode we interview Andrew Bouffler.  Andrew, his wife Mandi and their three children farm near Lockhart in Southern NSW. Around 13 years ago Andrew completed a Nuffield Scholarship. He reflects on what he learnt then and what he has learnt since as he continues on a life-long journey to continually improve his mixed farming enterprise and the sheep that he breeds.  He discusses the importance of breeding fitness into animals and building resilience into farm businesses.
