Milne Feeds Backs the Next Generation of Pastoral Leaders

At Milne Feeds we've always believed that great results on country start with great people — which is why we were proud to sponsor the inaugural KPCA Head Stockpersons Leadership Forum in Broome in May, and why we're equally proud to be sponsoring the podcast series that came out of it.

Milne Group Veterinarian Dr Holly Ludeman attended the forum as a presenter and — in a move that surprised no one who knows Holly — arrived as a presenter and somehow also left with a podcast series. In partnership with The Livestock Collective, Holly has captured the key conversations and moments from the forum across four episodes of Behind the Collective. The first two are live now.

Whether you were connected to the forum or are hearing about it for the first time, this series is worth a listen. It covers the vision behind the event, the leadership frameworks that shaped the two days, and the real reflections from station managers and participants on what they took home.

The series is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and PodBean — so you can tune in wherever you are.

MilneFeeds is proud to back events and organisations that invest in people. The KPCA forum is exactly that — and we'd love to see it grow.
