Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Goats Series Ep 13 - Meat Science and meeting customer needs with Prof. Pete McGilchrist
Q: What actually do we mean by eating quality, and why should farmers care about this in the red meat industry?
Eating quality comprises intrinsic factors like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor, and extrinsic factors like breed, feeding, and food safety; farmers should care because alignment of extrinsic signals with high intrinsic quality drives consumer satisfaction and better pricing.
Goats Series Ep 13 - Meat Science and meeting customer needs with Prof. Pete McGilchrist
Q: If you could change one public perception about red meat specifically, what would it be and why?
The belief that red meat is inherently bad for health should be reframed by emphasizing balance and the nutritional benefits, while highlighting the need for context (e.g., fiber intake) and moderation to avoid health concerns.
Where Do Goats Really Graze? Inside a Western NSW Research Project
Q: How do you see AI changing decision-making in farming over the next decade?
AI is likely to move from providing raw inputs to synthesizing multiple data streams into actionable decisions, supporting producers with real-time analytics and predictive insights, particularly in grazing and irrigation contexts.
Where Do Goats Really Graze? Inside a Western NSW Research Project
Q: What do you think is the most exciting piece of ag tech you've seen or developed for livestock?
Virtual fencing is a standout technology with broad potential on-farm, especially as policy changes enable its deployment; sensors and device miniaturization are also driving more practical, long-term research and commercial use.
