R2Kast 205 - Miranda Timmerman on travelling as a vet, Nuffield and farming in Qatar
Veterinary, Nuffield and…Farming in Qatar?!
Todays guest, Miranda Timmerman is someone I’ve followed for a while as miranda_vet however never actually realised she was a Nuffield scholar until I sat and listened to to her topic on gastrointestinal parasite management at last years conference!
Not only was the topic very interesting but also a stand out from a presentation perspective (my favourite part)! Miranda has travelled a lot both with work and recreationally!
Nothing quite like where she finds herself now, working alongside her husband at Baladna Farm which produces all of the dairy product in Qatar after a dispute with Saudi Arabia in 2017 that saw dairy products no longer sold to Qatar!
A very interesting chat with someone who just always says yes!
Enjoy!

R2Kast 204 - Maddy Bretey-Smith on 4H, Tanzania and youth development
4-H, dancing, Tanzania and…Banana bread?
Ever meet someone and just get on straight away? That was myself and today’s guest and I’m quite certain she’ll have that impact on most!
Maddy Bretey-Smith from Iowa in the states was one of the American team in Tanzania that we spent a week with last year!
She has been in 4H her entire life and now as a staff member leads a team that she once saw as the peak to be involved in, she joined as a member and now is overseeing global integration and much more!
A great person advocating a phenomenal youth development group! She also loves cats so what more could you ask for?

Getting into farming, calf rearing and millions of views!
Our guest today, Josie Eccles studied at SRUC Barony and studied during the online Covid environment!
Josie doesn’t come from farming and after studying animal care noticed agriculture was where her heart was! So the door knocking began and phoning people just asking for a chance now here she is choosing the clients she reads calves for all the while sharing the trials and tribulations in the most entertaining way on TikTok as weejosie2.0!
Great advocate for the sector that brings in people from outside the sector!
Enjoy!
