From cattle to cutlery: The importance of adaptability and passion in your farming operation

Beck and Brad Hurley own and operate 22,000 acres on their properties, “Eremeran” and “Kalabra”, a hundred kilometres outside Condobolin. Their farm has changed a lot over the years, and they currently run a mixed cattle and sheep operation with miniature donkeys for herd protection.

In this episode, Beck and Brad expand on how their operation has changed from their early days running the farm, how exclusion fencing has benefited their business, and why they love having miniature donkeys as part of their farming operation. Brad also opens up about how his side project, Good Going Out Cutlery, keeps him busy and transforms old kitchen essentials into beautiful jewellery for family and friends.

Local Land Services Senior Natural Resource Officer, Jasmine Wells caught up for a chat with Beck and Brad at their home with some delicious baked goodies.
