Moama’s Pacdon Park Free Range
British Butchery took out the top award at the Scottish Business Network Awards at the end of 2024.
The butchery is no stranger to the limelight with a few major awards already under their butcher’s belt, now including the ‘Hard Won Victory for Business’.
Pacdon Park co-owner Jim Arrowsmith said the award recognised their contribution to Scottish culture.
“The Scottish Australian Business Network is a non-proft group of like-minded people that want to support Scottish culture and heritage,” he said.
“There was an award ceremony two weeks ago and we picked up the major award... for contribution to Scottish culture and cuisine which was really good.”
The small butchery operates in an old dairy factory along Perricoota Rd in Moama and creates a range of British smallgoods and niche Scottish products.
Mr Arrowsmith and his business partner Pete Tonge began their journey in 2008 in Bunnaloo.
Mr Tonge said they wanted to start the business after struggling to fnd the foods they ate back home in the UK.
“We came over as backpackers and realised that you couldn’t really buy or get a lot of the stuff from back home or it wasn’t quite right and that’s why we started,” he said.
“I think it’s just snowballed into what it is today but it’s been a lot of hard work and a lot of long hours, like most people who start a small business.”
In their early days the pair would take part in farmers markets in Melbourne and now, they export all over Australia and beyond.
Their haggis is also Australia’s only world-renowned haggis and has been supplied to the British army and distributed to every state parliament in Australia.
Mr Arrowsmith said their journey as butchers had been a rewarding one.
“I don’t know what we expected when we started our business but it’s been a wonderful journey,” he said.
“It’s been awfully interesting and still is. We get phone calls from people in tears when they try our foods because they haven’t eaten it since they emigrated as children so it’s been a really lovely business to be in.”
They now have a team of nine who make and sell 13 products to other businesses, butchers and local customers.
For the frst time in International Dairy Week history, a Red and White Holstein has taken out Senior Interbreed and Supreme Champion Cow, Lightning Ridge CMD Dback Barbara, owned by Instyle and Rusty Red’s Juddy Jennings and Brenton Thomas. And for Brenton, it was back-to-back wins, with Instyle Solomon Dahlia winning last year.
Both Brenton and Juddy were lost for words when Barbara took home the top award telling Around the Barn’s Casey Trealor it was a dream come true.
“Unbelievable, and a privilege to win with a cow I own with Brenton,” Juddy said.
The six-year-old took Juddy’s eye when he bought her as a heifer — Brenton bought into her at a later date.
The boys — from Cooriemungle in south-west Victoria — are hoping she is in-calf and will be back in 2026 to defend her title.
For Holstein judge Mike Duckket, the entire show was great from junior animals right through to the
senior champion, and he couldn’t fault the quality of cattle on show.
IDW director Declan Patten said it was great to see a Red and White take out the win for the frst time.
He also said it was one of the best Holstein shows he had ever seen with regard to quality and depth of cattle.
“I think that’s what happens when you have a worldclass judge in Mike Duckket in the show ring
“He is one of the most infuential cattlemen in the world, and he really lifted the bar with people proud to present their cows to someone of that calibre,” Declan said.
In another frst, Declan said it was great to host a celebration dinner in the main arena in honour of IDW’s 35th year.
“We managed to pull it off without a hitch, and we will look to do this again. It also gave the Power of Women in Dairy added exposure and I am a very strong supporter of that initiative,” Declan said. On a personal note, Declan said it was a highlight to see Matt Templeton awarded the Lex Bunn award for passion, dedication and commitment to the industry.
Matt has generously shared his battle with cancer, and despite telling the Around the Barn podcast his
doctor told him to go into palliative care six months ago, he was able to judge the Jersey show and also go on to have an incredibly successful Holstein show.
Alongside his wife Nicola, the couple won Intermediate and Interbreed Champion, and went on to win Grand Champion with View Fort Lambda Butter.
“The Templeton’s success story has been my favourite part of 2025,” Declan said.
IDW 2025 was also the most successful show for Gorbro Holsteins, from Cohuna, taking out Junior Champion and All Breeds Junior Champion with Gorbro Lambda Violet, Senior Champion and Reserve All Breeds Champion with Windy View Chief Justine and premier breeder and exhibitor, along with many class wins.
“We paid $20,000 for Justine two years ago because back then we thought she was good enough – her dairy quality, width throughout and her udder — make her a milking machine,” Glen said.
Glen said Gorbro would be hosting a Valentine’s Day sale on February 14 at their farm from 11am, with all the heifers in their show team available for sale among the 130 lots of different ages.
Are you a pig producer or a horse owner? NSW Health has confrmed the detection of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in mosquitos caught near Griffth, NSW. Japanese encephalitis has also been detected in feral pigs in Tomingley, near Dubbo.

The largest enrolment of wool classing professionals in the state sat its fnal exam last week at Hay’s TAFE campus.
Taught by one of Australia’s leading classers, Hay’s Kayla Garner, 14 students from Hay, Ivanhoe, Booroorban, Broken Hill, Adelong and Trangie were vigorously assessed.
The students commenced their training in February, under the expert guidance of Ms Garner, who was crowned Australian National Wool Handling Champion in 2013.
Stuart Murphy, TAFE’s head teacher of agribusiness, travelled from Scone to undertake the assessment.
“I am here to ensure these students have fully met the requirements of the qualifcation,” Mr Murphy explained.
“We want these students to be job ready, ready to walk into a career in an industry experiencing Australia wide shortages.
“What’s great about this group is that many are wool growers themselves and are directly addressing this critical skills shortage.”
Each student passed their assessment and is now a fully qualifed wool classer.
“Everyone passed with high distinction and I am very proud of their achievements,” Ms Garner said. “I’m excited to see where their future in wool takes them all.”
When Finley frefghter Bernie Thomson sees relief on faces during an emergency he is attending with the local brigade, it gives him great satisfaction.
Hetakes pride in helping people, and appreciates the role of his fre brigade and their impact on those who “know we are here to help” when they arrive at an emergency scene. Bernie also appreciates the skills he has learned as a frefghter, the camaraderie he gets in the role and the training he receives to understand the true impact of disaster situations.
Bernie is a member of Finley Fire & Rescue NSW, and as well as the numerous personal benefts he gets from this role, is also extremely grateful to his employer, Murray Irrigation (MIL), who helps make it possible. As an On-call Firefghter he needs this support to be able to ‘down tools’ to attend a local emergency, or to seek leave for a situation where help is required over an extended period.
Bernie, who works as a Water Scheduler for MIL, has been effectively combining his career and frefghting duties for more than 20 years.
“I started at MIL 30 years ago in maintenance and then became a channel attendant, where I gained most of my experience with irrigation water and our customers,” Bernie said.
“I now work with about 2,500 MIL and external customers, helping them manage their water accounts and the delivery of irrigation water to our farms.”
In 2002 Bernie heard the local fre brigade was looking for new members, and attended a barbecue it was hosting to learn more about what was involved.
“Twenty-two years later I’m still learning and enjoying myself, while also helping others,” he said.
On-call Firefghters provide a high standard of response to fres and a variety of other emergency incidents in their local community. They use specialised vehicles and equipment to prevent and reduce the risk of fre and potential loss of life and property, and work closely with
“MIL understands the importance of having emergency services within our surrounding communities to help save properties and lives at crucial times.”
BERNIE THOMSON
the community to increase fre safety awareness and promote fre prevention. They also undertake all manner of rescues, deal with hazardous material incidents and help other agencies with emergency medical response and severe weather-related events.
On-call Firefghters are not rostered on duty, but declare their availability a week in advance, which enables them to maintain their employment and advise the station when they are available to respond. When an incident occurs, they are notifed by a pager and then a mobile phone call. This, of course, needs a high level of support from their employer, and it is something Bernie receives from MIL.
“MIL understands the importance of having emergency services within our surrounding communities to help save properties and lives at crucial times,” Bernie says.
“With this understanding, I am in a position where I can attend incidents in town when there is minimal disruption at work.
“If I am called out of town to an incident that could cover a few days, MIL has an emergency service arrangement in place, so I can apply to have a nominated time off work to attend.”
Bernie also appreciates the fact there is broader beneft to being an On-call Firefghter, over and above the gratitude he receives from those he assists.
“I enjoy meeting and working with different people from other brigades and emergency service groups, attending taskforces to gain a true understanding of the impact a disaster causes, as well as being able to use the skills I have been taught,” he said.
“From a personal perspective, it also provides the opportunity to gain new experiences outside the normal day to day life.
“I have become certifed or licensed on various appliances, and I get to travel and work in different environments.
“Importantly, I get the personal satisfaction that I am able to help the community when in need.
“A bonus is fnancial beneft for working and studying.”

Soil health is fundamental to sustainable agriculture, directly impacting plant growth, farm productivity, and environmental resilience. It refers to the physical structure, chemical components and biological life within the soil that work together to maintain its fertility and function. While not all soils need to be agriculturally productive to be considered healthy, poor management practices can lead to soil degradation, impacting both crop yields and livestock productivity.
To preserve and enhance soil health, it is essential for farmers to adopt practices that support the soil to remain productive. These include practices that preserve the soil’s structure, control erosion and manage organic matter, nutrient levels and water-holding capacity effectively.
Murray Local Land Services (MLLS) have now opened expressions of interest to join local soil discussion groups that will target production issues whilst monitoring all things soil management.
The aim of these discussion groups is to tackle the key production challenges and boost agricultural production in the Murray Region through local trial sites, peer-to-peer learning, and soil monitoring.
What’s involved?
• Join a discussion group with farmers in your area meeting twice a year over 3 years.
• Take part in and learn from group discussion.
• Provide input on design of group demonstration site e.g. liming trial or other soil amelioration techniques.
• Demonstration sites will be monitored to track results with support of industry experts.
• Take part in feld days, training workshops, short group excursions or hear from other experts chosen by the group.
Farmers interested in improving production, boosting on farm effciency, testing new techniques, and learning together.
Groups will be anywhere in the Murray region, from Tumbarumba in the east to Koraleigh in the west depending on interest. Groups can be cropping, livestock or mixed enterprise.
Focus areas and demonstration sites will be guided by groups. They could involve liming trials, soil compaction remediation, rangeland pasture management, shelterbelts for lamb survival, innovative technology etc.
Got an idea? Keen to join a group or already have one? Let us, help you chase productivity! Get in contact with Mel Edwards, senior local lands offcer - mixed farming systems, email mel.edwards@lls.nsw.gov.au, phone 0455 867 856 or complete the EOI via the QR code. Plant
The NSW Government says it is reducing red tape which has stifed farmers’ ability to fght fres on their own property.
During a fre emergency, a landholder can now take water from surface water and groundwater sources on their land without needing to have a water licence and water use approval. This includes streams, creeks and rivers within the immediate emergency area.
This exemption has been made via recent amendments to the Water Management (General) Regulation 2018.
The water can be used by landholders on their property and on adjacent land, to fght fres. It can also be used for training and controlled burning when it is carried out by or under the authority of a frefghting agency such as the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), and for the testing and maintenance of frefghting equipment.
Landholders who wish to prepare for the threat of bushfres can now also lawfully take water and store it in a tank or dam for future frefghting purposes. The maximum volume for each property is 100,000L (0.1 ML) per year.
The NSW Government will soon carry out targeted surveys of landholders, to better understand how the exemption is being used and to identify the extent and scale of water use.
While landholders are not required to submit reports, they are encouraged to log the volume of water they take under the exemption, for their own records.
“But the fact is, when there is a fre, no one should need to stop and think if they are allowed to access water to keep themselves and their property safe,” New South Wales Acting Minister for Water, Jodie Harrison said.
“This is a common-sense decision, and it is great to see these amendments now in place in time for summer. When fre threatens life and property, landholders need
“...when there is a fre, no one should need to stop and think if they are allowed to access water to keep themselves and their property safe.”
JODIE HARRISON
fast and easy access to water to protect their properties and themselves.
“These changes make it easier and cheaper for farmers and property owners to access water to prepare for and respond to emergency fre situations.”
NSW Minister for Emergency Services, Jihad Dib, said that when it comes to emergencies, landholders can play an important role in bushfre response, and this change further empowers them to act when their properties are under threat.
“The NSW Government has been proactive in fnding common sense ways to make it easier for landholders to fght fres on their properties, which also includes a trial to make it easier for farmers to keep frefghting vehicles on their properties.”
Tocumwal’s Erin Chesworth has received a top honour at Angus Australia’s 2025 NH Foods Angus Youth Roundup.
The event was held in Tamworth, and Erin emerged from the week as the recipient of the Matthew George Citizenship Award. It provides a $500 educational subsidy to put towards an activity of her choice.
The award is sponsored by the Victorian Angus State Committee, in memory of Matthew George. He was a keen cattleman who tragically passed away as a young man. This award is presented in his honour to someone who displays good cooperation and goes out of their way to help others at Roundup.
In awarding the scholarship to Erin, Victorian Angus Breeders Group representative and Merridale Angus breeder Peter Collins said she showed great promise in the industry.
“Erin is a young person with three or four stud heifers of her own,” he said.
“It was her frst year at Roundup and she brought her own animals.
“She is an amazing young lady with a real vision, and I hope she puts this money towards doing what she would like to do with her passions.”
Angus Australia said the Roundup was the biggest one yet, with more than 220 participants and their animals hitting the Australia Equine and Livestock Exhibition Centre at Tamworth.
Over four days, competitors grew their knowledge about the beef industry through both hands-on and in the classroom experiences, highlighting the breadth and width of what can be learned from across the supply chain. Day one of Roundup started with the icebreakers as participants got to know each other, followed by the mock

bull auction, meat judging and the crowd favourite Barnyard Olympics.
Day two brought the NH Foods Joy of Eating Day, where the event’s major sponsor took the participants on the journey of the beef supply chain. Starting bright and early with the NH Foods Beef Up Your Career panel session, the morning followed with the Angus Reserve Beef Tank (like Shark Tank, but better) and the Beyond Beef challenge. In amongst the educational sessions, junior judging also took place. To conclude an actionpacked day, NH Foods brand partner Chef Jason Roberts hosted a dinner demonstration, featuring Angus Reserve beef cheek nachos for tea.
Day three kicked off in the ring with the cattle classes, heading into an afternoon of educational sessions. These included classes like castration station, ftting is fun, auctioneering school, keep/cull classes, DNA sampling, phenotypes, genotypes and TACE, discover cutting-edge technology in the red meat industry, and commercial DNA testing in the feedlot sector. The evening then played host to the junior judging fnals for the sub-intermediate, intermediate and senior age groups.
The fnal day of the Roundup started off with a morning of paraders classes, followed by the ‘Shute to Showring’ competition. Concluding the Roundup was the gala dinner, at which Erin received her scholarship and other awards were presented. The night also included the Roundup auction, with all proceeds supporting future Angus Youth programs.
“We are very pleased with how smoothly the NH Foods Angus Youth Roundup ran despite our jam packed 2025 program,” said Roundup organising committee chair Bonnie Cox.
“We had a lot of volunteers put their hand up to help in our education sessions and assist our presenters.
“For me, it’s hard to pick a single highlight from the week.
“Besides travelling to Tamworth to assist the committee and organisation of the Roundup as chair, my partner Will and I also took three ballot animals.
“This was one of the most rewarding experiences of the week for both of us.”
Bonnie said another main highlight was seeing a few competitors attend in the older age groups that had never been to a Roundup previously, including a few that had never been around cattle before.
“One of these competitors ended the week with buying two of her own stud animals,” she said.
“This is why we do it, and I’m thrilled that the Roundup provided a means to inspire our youth to become involved in the industry and part of the Angus family.
“I cannot thank my committee members enough for all their help, wisdom, advice and support during the week.
“Each one has the drive and integrity to get the job done right and it was an honour to work with all of them.”
A co-op of local producers has been formed in an effort to promote local produce to metropolitan markets while saving costs.
Thebrainchild of Pattison Farms and Pattison Pastoral Butchery owner Hayley Pattison, the idea is to share the cost of transporting produce to Melbourne.
Mrs Pattison said with 12 producers already showing interest, it is anticipated the frst run to the city will take place in the second week of February. Runs will then continue monthly, but could be more regular if other producers come on board or as demand dictates.
More meetings and discussions need to take place on the business structure moving forward. Mrs Pattison said this will also include how to capitalise on the truck’s return to the local area.
“We all need to make the most effcient use of transport costs,” she said.
“I wanted to send my own produce to Melbourne, but I don’t have enough throughput yet to justify sending a truck on my own.
“I reached out to a few farmers in my existing network to discuss options, and from that, I opened it up a bit further and see who else might be interested.
“We had about a dozen attend the initial meeting.
“We then discussed that the truck can be used for freight back from Melbourne, which may suit some local businesses.”
Mrs Pattison said one of the farmers has his own refrigerated truck, which will be used to transport
“The better we can share the costs of transport and freight, the more we can invest in our own businesses and on our own staff.”
HAYLEY PATTISON
produce to Melbourne. In Melbourne, the local truck will meet up with distributors to then deliver the produce to residential areas.
“Our plan is to start with the metropolitan area and then branch out to other areas.
“The local items going to Melbourne are being sold via one of three platforms - Farmer to Fridge, Farmer Butcher and my own Pattison Pastoral Butchery website.
“Some producers may also use the service to deliver to wholesale or straight to market.”
Mrs Pattison said the interested farmers so far include meat and egg producers, but she said the service would work for any type of producer. She intends to speak with district fruit and vegetable producers about the opportunity in coming days and weeks.
Mrs Pattison said most of the local producers currently process their meats through Wangaratta via a service which departs from Finley. But she said the group would also remain in contact with the Barham mico-abattoir about opting into the initiative.
The Barham facility opened late last year, but is currently only able to process chickens. It is waiting on clearances to process red meat, which Mrs Pattison said could further grow the co-op of producers wanting to access Melbourne markets.
The overall aim is effciency and cost savings, Mrs Pattison said.
“For me, it was about improving effciencies of scale.
“The better we can share the costs of transport and freight, the more we can invest in our own businesses and on our own staff.
“This is an opportunity to improve and grow.”
Anyone interested in being involved in the transport group, and businesses wishing to utilise the return trips from Melbourne, are invited to contact Mrs Pattison on 0498 372 428.

Corporate and private sponsorship is being sought for a scholarship that will pay tribute to a champion of agriculture and education from the Deniliquin region.
The Bruce Simpson Rural Scholarship Fund will be administered by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, with input from Bruce’s children Charlie and Lucy who will sit on the selection committee.
Bruce died unexpectedly in 2024, and in his memory the scholarship will “invest in a legacy and empower rural leaders - forever”.
The aim is to raise $2 million to support the scholarship program.
Bruce’s journey began far from the expansive paddocks of the Riverina, but he quickly found his way to the land, following his deep-seated passion for farming and rural life.
“Bruce was known for his quiet strength and fairmindedness, whether as chair of Murray Irrigation Ltd or as an agribusiness consultant and mentor,” ARLF said.
“His thoughtful approach made him a trusted voice on complex issues, from water management to community advocacy.
“At every step, he championed fairness, always willing to listen, support, and help others fnd their way forward.
“Bruce’s legacy will live on in each scholarship recipient who steps forward to carry on his vision - a vision for a resilient, thriving rural Australia where leadership is cultivated and shared for generations to come.”
