   #074 | Reece Reiser, Dee Wilde & Jo Stoate | The Journey Starts Here

   In the final episode of the KPCA Head Stockpersons Leadership Forum Series, Holly Ludeman catches up with participants Reece Riser, Dee Wilde and Jo Stoate while out and about at a networking event to reflect on what they've taken away from the inaugural Forum. From greater self-awareness and communication to networking, mentorship and confidence their reflections highlight the lasting impact of investing in emerging leaders and demonstrate that the real value of the Forum continues long after participants return home. As this four-part series concludes, it also reinforces the vision behind the inaugural KPCA Head Stockpersons Leadership Forum: developing confident, capable leaders who will help shape the future of northern Australia's cattle industry.

   #072 | Barb Bishop & Stu Austin | Great Stockpeople Lead People

   In this episode of Behind the Collective host Holly Ludeman speaks with Barb Bishop and Stu Austin, two of the key facilitators of the inaugural Kimberley Pilbara Cattlemen's Association (KPCA) Head Stockpersons Leadership Forum, about developing the next generation of leaders in northern Australia's cattle industry. From self-awareness and communication to productivity, accountability and workplace culture, Barb and Stu explore why leadership is about far more than technical skills. Through practical examples, Myers-Briggs personality insights and real stories from participants, they discuss how understanding people, building confidence and creating positive team cultures can transform both individuals and businesses. The conversation also highlights the power of peer-to-peer learning, mentoring and industry collaboration, while reflecting on the importance of continuing to invest in leadership pathways for young people working in remote and regional cattle operations. Whether you're an aspiring head stockperson, station manager or passionate about developing people in agriculture, this episode offers practical leadership lessons that extend well beyond the cattle yards.

[…] It's two early days for me to show any of the survival data yet but I did want to show you some of the chill index results. So this is the chill index over a 12 hour period in a pasture, crop and shrub paddock at one property in Western Australia. Notice that the crop and shrub have lower hourly chill indexes compared to the pasture. Also when the chill index peaked at about seven p .m. the pasture paddock exceeded 1 ,100 which is our threshold for nearly six hours whereas the shrub was only for an hour and the crop didn't even reach that threshold. We're also looking at the best shrub design to optimise utilisation at lambing. […]
