@OkeeffeLynn @lynbw @mckinziepayton @LauraSteven @VeroniKaboom Feel your curlygirl pain, I can only brush my hair in the shower, only with Pantene, and can only let it air dry... in a bun. I still get dreadlocks #sendhelp

Big news from my little pocket of the world - this week is my last at work in Geelong! I’m on the farm full time, starting next week. I’ll miss the work and the team, but I sure won’t miss the drive! 3.5 hours in the car per day was just too much. Wish me luck! #NextChapter

@derryvale Love this 😂

[Poppy McBain @poppymcbain]

@lormsbywilliams I thought this was such a great read.

I love spring

Maggie the Rhodesian Ridgeback, Sam the German Shorthaired Pointer puppy and Güs the “stray” kitten. There are 2 other couches available and they choose to stay as close as possible to each other 🌹😭💔 #FarmFamily

@m_herbert They’re great little calves! What bulls did you select?

The wild oats #Olympics when you add water ...... they’d be digging into the dirt if they could! #agriculture #westcdnag

@ktuluadam We’ve loved our F1s, they’ve grown into lovely cows with heaps of milk too! Will you keep the heifer calves as breeders?

[Poppy McBain @poppymcbain]

I’m all about adventures and getting out of your comfort zone, but 4 hours old is a little too young to be off exploring the laneways. It amazes me how these things practically gallop out of the womb! #SpecklePark #Calving19 #WhereIsYourNegligentMother

@CurraPete Happening here too, South West Vic

[Poppy McBain @poppymcbain]

@Mobble_app Wish I’d known you were at the conference too - I would have loved to say hi! Next time.

[Poppy McBain @poppymcbain]

At #GlobalTableAus today, hearing from experts about #meatalternatives and their future in Australian markets. This conversation is a tremendous opportunity for us #beeffarmers to own and define our brand, real meat - the most natural there is! #FutureOfAg

We should be more focused on how we can strengthen these ties between animal & plant agriculture & food production - how can we best use energy ☀️in this system & nutrients? Plants depend on animals, animals depend on plants, they both depend on soil & we depend on the whole lot

[Sara Place @drsplace]

Livestock are a key way for us to upcycle what would be waste - all the leftovers from processing plants into things we like to eat. So, whether you eat their products or not, you do likely depend on livestock (this goes for "plant based" companies too, not just eaters).

[Sara Place @drsplace]

Just one example why this plant vs. animal food & ag framing is silly. Soy products are a key component of many alternative proteins but people don't eat the whole🌱 or bean. 3 lbs. of soy hulls get produced for every bushel, which get fed to 🐄🐂
