In the latest episode of the Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, we're digging into the turbulent world of the beef market with Matt Dalgleish, a seasoned agricultural market analyst who knows his way around livestock, grain, and wool data. Coming off a brutal year for beef producers in 2023 - with skyrocketing interest rates, soaring inflation, and plunging beef prices - the industry is on edge, and everyone wants to know what's next.

Matt breaks down what caused the perfect storm that hit beef producers hard. Was it a classic market crash, or just a blip in the larger economic cycle? He also gives us his thoughts on whether the worst of the volatility is behind us or if we should brace for more market turbulence.

With inflation and interest rates looming over every aspect of the economy, Matt pulls out his crystal ball to share what he sees on the horizon. Is the worst over, or is the beef industry in for another wild ride? If you're involved in agriculture or just curious about the state of the market, you won't want to miss this conversation.

Tune in to get Matt's take on these pressing questions and more, as we unpack what went wrong, where we're at now, and what's in store for beef producers.

Notice anything different?....

The Financial Bloke Podcast has had a small facelift and is now called The AgriCoach Podcast! Everything else remains the same, the new name is just more aligned to what we do 🤩

And so, back to business...

In this episode of the Wealth & Wisdom podcast, we embark on a journey into the realm of animal biotechnology, a field poised to revolutionise livestock production as we know it. Picture this: bulls siring calves with no genetic resemblance to themselves. Sounds like science fiction, right? But it’s happening, and it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professor Alison Van Eenennaam, a leading figure in animal genomics and biotechnology. From discussing the essence of animal biotechnology to unravelling mind-boggling projects like "switching an animal’s balls", our conversation is nothing short of eye-opening.

So, what exactly is animal biotechnology, and what does it entail? Alison breaks it down for us, shedding light on the groundbreaking work researchers like herself are undertaking. But it doesn't stop there. We delve into the most captivating projects on Alison's radar, from male calves in the dairy industry to the removal of the horned gene, and the potential ethical and regulatory implications.

This episode is a testament to the boundless possibilities of biotechnology and the individuals driving its transformative power. So, buckle up and prepare to journey into the future of livestock production like never before.
