Phillip

Treasurer

Since our inception, Phillip has been honoured to serve as Treasurer despite initially lacking prior experience in this specific role. However, he took the initiative to enrol in a basic bookkeeping course to enhance his financial management skills, specifically tailored to the needs of Adopt-A-Beast. This endeavour has equipped him with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively handle our finances and contribute meaningfully to our cause.

Rosemarie

Board Member

Rosemarie joined us because of her strong beliefs in our mission. Born in France and raised on a farm, she grew up surrounded by the land, although focused was on produce rather than cattle. Taking on additional work as an ambassador, she is committed to going above and beyond to help the community understand our work and the reasons behind it.

Janet and her husband manage a small farm near Rockhampton, primarily raising Droughtmaster cattle. Having personally experienced the financial challenges of recovering from drought, Janet is especially passionate about supporting other farmers in their recovery. This is why she joined Adopt-A-Beast, aiming to assist in any way she can to help others facing similar struggles.

Our Mission

Our mission at Adopt-A-Beast is to provide cattle graziers with post-crisis support with the replenishment of livestock.
