00:00So this is Gavin Pearce we've got here today, the Minister for Primary Industries in Tasmania.
00:04He's come over to King Island to do a few things and he's come to have a look at our
00:08new set of Thompson Longhorn Yards.
00:10Gav, what do you think?
00:12Ben, thanks for having me and I've never been more impressed.
00:16The thought and the engineering that's gone into this, the animal husbandry, the animal welfare focus that Thompson have put
00:26into this is absolutely second to none.
00:28I've never seen anything like it and the other thing is the ease of use.
00:36They've thought of absolutely everything and we've struggled over the years with little quirks around our yards, we've kicked our
00:43foot on certain things.
00:44We all have that but they've ironed all that out.
00:48This is incredible and it's credit to you for taking that step and this is a big investment but it's
00:55an investment I think in the right direction.
00:56Yes, we grow the best cattle down here, believe it or not, and it's important that we handle them properly.
01:03It's important that we handle them in the lowest stress environment.
01:08So well done Ben and well done to Thompson Longhorn.
01:12So well done.
01:28You
