THE PODCAST
(On cows and climate change) If you come out to my farm and see that we've only got 35 head of cattle, and they're all grazing grass naturally, and they're mob grazed and moved every day. They're drinking Wombeyan Cave aquifer water, and they're eating pastures with a very strong fungal ecosystem. There are fungus in the soil that actually consume the methane. So there would be zero methane in this place. In fact it's actually really important at the levels that they do express it when they're eating naturally perennial pastures. To say you want to take animals out of the ecosystem... Anyone that can point to me anywhere on the Earth where there's an ecosystem that doesn't include animals, I'm interested because I haven't heard of one. Animals are so important, especially ruminants. They're essentially 4-legged sauerkraut that, what they do in their 4 stomachs for topsoils and ecosystems is probably about the most amazing thing that happens on this Earth. So to come to the conclusion that the methane expelled from these animals is detrimental, is absolutely absurd. There were more ruminants naturally grazing this Earth 1000 years ago than what we've got now.

MY GUEST
Luke Winder | Regenerative Farmer, Tathra Place Free Range
Luke Winder is a Regenerative Farmer from Tathra Place Free Range. Tathra Place is a 100 acre property just outside the township of Taralga, New South Wales.
Luke: My wife and I have purchased this property with the hope that we can offer families in the Sutherland Shire with the opportunity to build a relationship with us and have a real say in the way your food is grown. We can offer this because we split our time between our house in Tathra Place Gymea Bay and the farm. This makes us quite unique and gives us the opportunity to provide free range eggs, grass fed beef, free range pork and grass fed chicken from our paddock to your plate with no chemicals hormones or antibiotics and most importantly multiple middle men increasing the price. The gates at Tathra Place are always open and we encourage you and your families to make the two and a half hour trip down the highway to both participate and see first hand the amazing lives our animals live.
