Bryan Corrigan: beef seedstock producer and marketer
Age: 52
Employer: Self-employed
Job description: Managing pasture and selecting genetics for an Angus beef cattle herd so that high quality commercial bulls can be produced for sale.
Qualifications: Certificates in wool classing, rural property management and artificial insemination.
Best thing about the job: Working with cattle and being self-employed.
Worst thing about the job: Managing the environmental risk such as drought and bushfires and handling people when selling bulls.
Strangest thing you've had to do: I used a fishing line to catch a snake that was in a well.
When you were at school, did you plan to do this type of work?
I was born and grew up on Renny Lea and always wanted to continue working with cattle. In those days I never imagined the extent of the
technological advances in the beef industry that we have embraced.
