He is based on Hamilton and provides livestock consultancy services to sheep producers in Vic, NSW and SA. Andrew enjoys the relationship building that consultancy work offers and the ability to put the work into practice on his property at Hamilton. His work centres around animal health and optimising stocking rate with a keen focus on financial outcomes for his clients. Often sheep producers are frustrated they cannot achieve their marking percentage goals, even though they’re implementing industry best practice in the lead up to, and during, lambing. An underlying reason for this may be they are joining ewes unfit to rear a lamb. A review of existing literature and industry information, and coordinated ewe selection case studies on three commercial farms, confirmed an opportunity to improve lamb and ewe survival outcomes by rigorous ewe assessment and selection before joining. This presentation describes, the methodology, results and risk factors identified in the fit-to-join project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581c46ab29687fefa2cf73a5/23436983-75db-495c-a2b5-b94a8361a7de/Andrew+Thompson.jpg 2022 Livestock Advisor Update SA - Andrew Thompson Andrew Thompson leads the sheep research team at Murdoch University in Perth. Over the last decade Andrews work has improved our understanding of factors influencing the reproductive performance of ewe lambs. A new project has developed a DST that will assist sheep producers to identify whether mating ewe lambs is a priority for their enterprise, identify what improvements can be made to their current management practices to increase profitability from mating ewe lambs and identify how key management practices may vary depending on seasonal and market conditions. Andrew’s presentations will cover key factors influencing the performance of ewe lambs and demonstrate the Ewe Lamb DST. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581c46ab29687fefa2cf73a5/687be529-aa87-4ee5-96ee-6ef0fb5f33d3/Darren+Koopman.jpg 2022 Livestock Advisor Update SA - Darren Koopman Darren is a Lecturer in Agribusiness and Economics in the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine at the University of Adelaide.

She grew up in the town of Naracoorte in South Australia’s south east, where she and her family enjoyed many adventures and weekend activities such as family bike rides, camping trips and a holiday to Sydney for the 2000 Olympics. Jess attributes her success in the Marathon to her love for running and the outdoors, her active upbringing, determination, hard work ethic (role-modelled by her family members) and most importantly, her strong support network. Jess ran her first ever Marathon in Japan in 2012 and achieved a time of just over 2h 31 minutes which qualified her for the London Olympics in August of that year. She has since gone on to represent Australia at the 2013 Moscow World Championships, 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow (bronze), 2016 Rio Olympics, 2017 London World Championships, 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games (bronze) and the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, where she achieved her dream of winning gold. Most recently she competed in the Paris Olympic Games, placing 13th in the second fastest Australian women’s Marathon time ever at an Olympic Games. Jess fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a Mum in 2019 when she gave birth to her son Billy. In 2023 she welcomed a daughter Ellie into the world. She believes that Motherhood has made her stronger both physically and mentally. It has heightened her passion for running and its many benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581c46ab29687fefa2cf73a5/da280d55-fe75-4475-8da9-125eecce220a/ben+bio+photo.jpg 2025 SA Livestock Advisor Update - Ben Finkel Ben leads the Australian Regional AI Network (ARAIN), a national initiative helping producers, advisors and agribusinesses explore practical, responsible AI.
