A gold medal mindset.

from Head Shepherd Hosted by Mark Ferguson

This week, Mark catches up with Jill Hill of Benambra. After following her fathers footsteps to rowing, Jill reached the World Championships in Greece, 1998, returning home with a gold medal in the lightweight double skull. Jill then went on to nationals in mountain biking. After her stint in sports, Jill practiced as a physiotherapist, before returning home to the family farm in 2017. By introducing the right sheep genetics to their Merino flock, and changing management practices, Jill increased the farms weaning rate from 60% to 129% in the first year. Jill has endless enthusiasm and a drive for building and achieving goals and this is a great listen.
