#11 | Picking Red Meat at the Supermarket & Decoding Farm Terminology (Fats, Stores, Weaners & More)

Two listener-requested topics this week, and one genuinely brilliant misunderstanding involving hot dogs. 🥩 Picking Red Meat at the Supermarket — what those color variations actually mean, why puffy packaging is the real red flag (not color), and why "dry aged" at a fancy restaurant and what's hanging in a farmer's cold room aren't so different 📖 Farm Terminology, Decoded — fats vs. stores, backgrounding, Bos indicus vs. Bos taurus, hybrid vigour, B-doubles vs. triple road trains, decks and pens, and the international language gap (lucerne = alfalfa, canola = rapeseed) 😂 The Weaner Story — a school staffroom, two city-raised teachers, and a genuinely brilliant misunderstanding about what "taking the weaners out" actually means 🎪 Conference Update — a zoo partnership, a giraffe feeding experience, a "furthest traveled" prize, and everything coming together for the two-day event Got a term that stumped you, or a story about figuring one out the hard way?

#6 | Raw Milk Realities & Why Carbon Credits Might Be Failing Agriculture

Recorded live and in person for the first time, fresh off flights, long drives, and a couple of well-earned G&Ts at the Australian Women in Agriculture Conference. 🥛 Raw Milk: What's Actually Legal — why selling raw milk is illegal in Australia, the real difference between milking your own animal and buying it off a stranger, and the "cold-pressed raw milk" product that isn't quite what it sounds like 🐐 Milking Your Own Animal — a genuine goat-versus-cow debate, and why Gillian has strong feelings about baby goats crying like human infants 🌍 Carbon Credits: The Big Problem — why buying credits isn't the same as earning them, why big companies "greenwashing" their net-zero claims are often purchasing credits straight from the same farmers being blamed for emissions, and why agriculture can't keep being both the source and the scapegoat 🏞️ Locking Up Land — what happens when mining companies buy agricultural land purely to offset emissions and leave it unmanaged, and why that often just breeds feral pests and weeds for everyone else to deal with 🎉 Conference Update — Gillian and Katja's first in-person recording, a sold-out 200-guest conference, and their first panel appearance together on Amplified Voices for Women in Agriculture Plus: a Great Aussie Pods shoutout, a mysterious man claiming he can make it rain for a fee (please don't give him money), and a farm-life catch-up covering ovens, driveways, and Season 7 of The Ultimate Farm Wife 💕 Support Our Partners THANK YOU TO OUR PODCAST SPONSORS!
