Skye Titmarsh
Growing up stud Brahmans have been my passion, with a strong love for all facets of farm life.
Since finishing my education, life has seen me continue to grow within our family operation, at Condamine QLD.
I have completed a short course in animal nutrition by correspondence, AI/Peg-testing and any skill set required to better management of cattle, horses and regenerate pastures.
Introduced to the idea of YPC at Emerald Ag-grow this year. It sparked as an opportunity for me to grow in the area of politics with like minded individuals and become more involved and aware of political challenges we face in agriculture on a day to day basis!
Understanding how much pressure we are under as an industry, drives me to follow my heart in doing my part in protecting Australian agriculture for future generations.
