🌟 The Inspiration Behind the Program

In 2014, at age 18, Grant Bulloch travelled to Canada for six months, working with some of the industry’s most respected operations — Lewis Farms, 6 Mile Ranch, and Harvie Ranches. This life-changing journey deeply influenced his career and inspired him to support the next generation of livestock leaders.

This exchange is his way of giving back — by offering a life-changing experience to a young Australian passionate about the cattle industry.
