Passing on Knowledge, Building the Future of the Sheep Industry

Opportunities like this are all about connecting industry with the next generation.

VET Agriculture students were fortunate to spend the day with Greg Potter from Fairview, Polwarth, gaining invaluable, hands‑on insight into the sheep and wool industry.

Greg generously shared his expertise on wool classing, sheep conformation, and what it really takes to have sheep show‑ready, as students prepare for the Australian Sheep & Wool Show, being held 17–19 July at the Bendigo Showgrounds.

Opportunities like this are all about connecting industry with the next generation - passing down knowledge, skills and passion to help students build confidence and understanding of where our industry is heading.

A huge thank you to Greg for giving up his time and supporting our students as they get ready for the big show!
