Jim and Terry Lindsay are livestock producers based near Hughenden in North West Queensland, running up to 5000 head of Brahman cattle on 24,000 ha in an average season.
Over the years, Jim and Terry have become heavily involved in training within the livestock production landscape, which sees them travel across the country to teach and take part in schools and education programs.
