I've been to several talks. The lady has all the facts and figures correlated and calculated in her head. She speaks for hours without notes

It's a joy to hear someone so on top of their subject. The Hollywood movie never did her justice.

I bought this book in the US

Quite rightly too...a great woman and a great credit to the industry

I met her once, we have an Autistic son and she was incredibly kind and helpful. It was a real honour.

Never heard her speak "live" but a true inspiration to every one, not just those involved with livestock.

A hero of mine. I'd love to hear her speak.

Does anyone know if she has a UK tour coming up?

"The farmer is much more credible than any PR stuff"

Wise words.

She was over last year

 

[Cowgirl]

She is in UK at the moment - we heard her speak today at an SRUC course - a real privilege! Amazing woman!

 

[Hummin-Cummins]

Woman is a saint, what she has done for livestock welfare across the world is incredible, am currently reading her latest animal welfare book very insightful.

For those who haven't seen it the film about her is well worth a watch it's brilliant.

Absolute credit to the industry on of the true heroes of farming. She shows how livestock should be treated without denegrating the industry.
