Michelle and her husband own and operate a family dairy farm business based in the Gippsland region of South-East Australia. Michelle is intrigued by the role that genetics plays in improving farm performance. Over the past decade, Michelle has focused on making Australian breeding values more accessible through the Good Bulls strategy, better aligned with farmer and industry expectations and more clearly validated in Australia’s varied dairying environments.

Michelle is an active volunteer in local and state sporting and community organisations.
