Paddock Talk: Episode 10 - Our Carnivore Journey
What happens when two Aussie farmers who supply some of the country’s best grass-fed beef decide to eat nothing but meat for weeks on end? In this episode, Bianca and Dave from Our Cow turn the microphone on themselves to share their experience going full carnivore — the good, the bad, and the surprisingly tasty. From a chance encounter at a carnivore convention in the US to the first brutal fortnight of cravings and detox, Bianca and Dave break down what it was really like to live on steak, mince, and eggs alone. They open up about the physical and mental changes they noticed, how it affected their energy and performance, and what they learned about the power of simple, quality food. It’s a raw and honest conversation about health, sustainability, and what happens when you strip your diet back to the basics. Whether you’re curious about the carnivore lifestyle, looking to improve your wellbeing, or just love a good paddock-to-plate yarn, this episode will make you rethink what real food means.

Paddock Talk: Episode 9: Cracking the Code on Meat Labels - What Do They Really Mean?
In this episode of Paddock Talk, hosts Bianca and Dave dive into one of the most confusing parts of buying meat – labels. From grass-fed and organic to carbon neutral and regenerative, they unpack the jargon, reveal the loopholes, and explain what these claims actually mean for farmers and consumers. Bianca and Dave share the story of Our Cow’s early days, when drought forced them to finish cattle on grain, and how that experience shaped their commitment to 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef. They discuss openly the role of feedlots, the reality behind hormone growth promoters (HGPs), and why certifications like organic can be more about “pay to play” than actual farming practices. The conversation also addresses buzzwords like 'carbon neutral' and 'regenerative', with the pair highlighting both the good intentions and the greenwashing behind some of these labels. Their message is clear: no single certification tells the whole story. For them, it comes down to trust, transparency, and supporting farmers who care for their animals, land, and the communities they serve. To finish, Dave shares a simple recipe from his own carnivore journey – crispy pork-crackle-crumbed chicken thighs cooked in the air fryer – a reminder that good food doesn’t need to be complicated, but it should always be honest.

Paddock Talk: Episode 8: Turning the Tide: The Baker Family’s Bet on Aussie White Lamb
In this episode of Paddock Talk, Bianca and Dave head to Yetman in northern New South Wales to sit down with Scott and Hannah Baker, fourth-generation farmers raising their three young kids on a property that has been in their family for more than 115 years. The Bakers share the story of Doonkami, their historic farm built from the vision of Scott’s great-grandfather after returning from WWI. From the old brick homestead to the water-saving lagoons that still serve the property, the Bakers reflect on what it means to carry forward such a proud family legacy. After enduring years of crippling drought and devastating dust storms, the couple made a bold pivot from cattle to Aussie White sheep. They explain why this unique breed—with its fertility, fast growth, premium marbling, and gentle nature—has been a game-changer for their family and for the future of their farm. Hannah recalls the emotional rollercoaster of watching their land suffer through record lows of 160ml rain in 2018–2019, before the relief of finally seeing lagoons fill again in front of their children. Together, they talk about resilience, community, and how life as parents in a remote area comes with both challenges and rewards. The Bakers also share how their partnership with Our Cow has allowed them to focus on raising world-class lamb while connecting directly with families across Australia who value not only the eating quality, but also the story behind the meat. Scott even opens up about his land management practices and the pride he takes in maintaining a sustainable balance on the farm. And to finish, Hannah serves up a favourite: her Garlic & Rosemary Aussie White Lamb Shoulder roast, the perfect Sunday meal that showcases just why Aussie White lamb is winning hearts (and tastebuds). The Baker family’s story is one of grit, heart, and smart thinking—turning tough years into a thriving future. When you order their lamb from Our Cow, you’re backing real people, real stories, and a better food future.
