Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tom & Mick: Trading Livestock, Grazing Systems and the Long Game with Nigel Kerin
Q: Can you walk us through the lamb trade that helped you rebound post-drought?
When JBS released a contract for lamb at a high price, Nigel and his team moved quickly to lock in thousands of lambs through contracts, then bought additional stock to meet forward commitments, a move that helped them recover financially when the market later softened.
Tom & Mick: Trading Livestock, Grazing Systems and the Long Game with Nigel Kerin
Q: Should every livestock business have a trading arm?
Absolutely not; trading is not suitable for everyone because successful traders need guardrails, systems, and a deep understanding of grass budgets and forward pricing; many agents struggle with integrating grass knowledge into trading decisions.
Tom & Mick: Trading Livestock, Grazing Systems and the Long Game with Nigel Kerin
Q: What drives your trading decisions, and do you look at markets or production end of the grass first?
The emphasis is on the grass bank and production—markets are not the driver; contract-forwarding and grass budgets determine what can be bought and sold, with emphasis on reaching a sustainable return on assets over time.
Inside Sustainable Wool: Data, Traceability and Trust with Sarah McDonald
Q: What makes wool competitive against synthetics from a sustainability viewpoint?
Natural fibers have advantages like supporting primary producers and biodiversity, but emissions accounting is complex; the wool industry relies on systemic improvements in farming and potentially genetic gains to reduce methane intensity.
Inside Sustainable Wool: Data, Traceability and Trust with Sarah McDonald
Q: How does the company balance data collection with the reality of on-farm workload for growers?
We use a mix of spatial mapping, platform-level reporting, and statistically representative samples to provide stable year-on-year change signals while trying not to impose excessive audit burden on farmers.
