BIZBOOST - Key Persons
Brigita brings education, marketing and administration to the Cashmore Oaklea team. Her background in Primary teaching , interest in quilting and family connection to the Barossa Valley with its fine wines adds balance to our sheep filled lives. She has excellent organisational skills in getting our open days and presentations prepared and presented in a well thought out and delivered manner.
Tertiary Ag Science studies from 1984 to 1986 saw important mentorships with leading animal genetic and production researchers formed. These led to the development of Cashmore maternal self replacing sheep well before it was fashionable with John as an early adopter of performance recording sheep with LAMBPLAN in 1990 and its associated technologies. A chance comment by Don at a ram sale subsequently led to the development of Cashmore Oaklea. John is a past president of the Coopworth Sheep Society of Australia, Tarragal Landcare Group and current chairman of the South West Prime Lamb Group. He has been involved with farm benchmarking and the "10%" Best Wool Best Lamb discussion group and has spoken at state and national level on sheep / cattle genetics and production and their place in the future.
