Standing Up
(and sometimes sitting down)
for Animal Welfare
ABOUT

"I am dedicated to understanding the "why?" of my clients.."
I am a farmer and agri-business professional.
Twenty-five years working in animal agriculture has given me a unique perspective on farm animal welfare that is pragmatic, practical but does not undermine the animal experience.
A highly experienced trainer, and Nuffield Scholar, Mandi is passionate about helping families transition their farm business to the next generation.
More recently her focus and dedication has been directed towards the well-being of farm animals.

Testimonials
"Mandi is that rare combination of compassion and realism. She completely comprehends the commercial realities of farming livestock but is totally dedicated to improving welfare standards. Her expert eye, passion for livestock, and farming make Mandi an incredible agricultural ambassador who cares for the stock and the farmer. Strong motivator and a small but mighty driver of change!"

"Mandi is an energetic consultant. She is very passionate about Agriculture and the opportunities presented by introducing new technology to Agriculture. She is keen to see farmers adopt new pasture and cropping techniques and is NOT afraid to test them on her own farm. Mandy is trained as an adult educator, her skills should be used throughout the industry to improve uptake of new technologies."
