Meg Kennett

Meg Kennett (I: @meg_kennet) grew up in Harden, NSW  frequently visiting and working on the family farm in Boorowa, NSW After leaving boarding school in 2017, Meg took a gap year contract mustering cattle across 15 different stations around the Northern Territory and Kimberley’s mustering, branding and drafting cattle and loved it so much she came back for a second year.

Growing up on a farm, Meg saw firsthand the effects of drought and the hardships of living on the land in dry time. This sparked her desire to find ways to use resources more efficiently and led to an interest in regenerative farming. Meg reached out to the Hudgins family in Texas, USA, to learn more about how they breed Brahman cattle and to work on an intensive cell grazing operation. After just five weeks of her year-long overseas journey, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, and Meg had to cut her trip short.

When she returned to Australia, Meg spent some time driving a truck for the development of a local wind farm. Currently Meg is studying at Marcus Oldham after working as a station hand on a 12,000 acre composite sheep and Angus breeding farm in Walcha, NSW, while also undertaking a pasture and sheep management course.
