Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full interview with Tim Lee: Soldier's lifesaving grazing journey
Q: What do you think can be done about getting more support for people once they return and leave the military?
Strengthening community networks, expanding men's groups and circles, normalizing talks about vulnerability, and creating accessible, ongoing support systems that run beyond initial programs. Networking with like-minded peers and mentors–such as those found in farming and veteran-focused groups–helps build resilience and provides a real lifeline for those returning home.

NSW herd sell-down | Kerins’ Wagyu move | Wagyu’s Northern footprint
Q: What was the mood at the Wagyu Conference regarding the Northern NSW herd?
