Tegan Roberts was raised on a stud dairy farm in Northern NSW, where she developed her foundational knowledge of embryo transfer and genetic banking operations. Tegan and her husband now run a cattle and goat breeding operation alongside their diesel mechanic businesses and are looking to expand their goat breeding enterprise to provide other graziers a quality line of specially bred goats.
Tegan’s idea is to provide local farmers the opportunity to have access to an embryo transfer and genetic banking facility based in Bourke, NSW. Currently the closest facility is more than 400kms away and farmers are often reluctant to even consider the option with the major costs involved. This facility will allow farmers to store the genetics of their stock, so they can be self-reliant and increase their productivity, profitability and sustainability after drought.
