Shownotes

In this episode of The Angus Table, host Scott Wright sits down with Lucy Morrissey, co-founder of Morrissey Livestock Services, to explore the art and science of stockmanship.

Lucy shares her journey from growing up barefoot in the Simpson Desert to becoming one of Australia's leading stockmanship trainers, her mentorship under Dr. Tom in the United States, the critical importance of mindset in cattle handling, why working off the globe of the eye changes everything, and her philosophy that "if it's really hard, you're probably doing something wrong."

Scott and Lucy discuss bridging the urban-rural divide, the values of the Australian stockman, keeping people safe and cattle calm, and Lucy's vision for introducing agricultural education to every school in Australia. So pull up a chair at the Angus Table for a conversation packed with wise insights and authentic passion for the beef industry.
