At just 25, Farmer Belle is already running her own cattle operations across Queensland and Victoria, building a farming empire that’s anything but traditional. Named Queensland’s Top Young Farmer for 2025, her journey from a Gippsland upbringing to South Burnett success is marked by resilience, bold choices, and a deep love for the land.
In this episode, Belle shares how she overcame knockbacks as a young woman trying to break into agriculture, the unconventional way she funded her first farm, and why she’s unapologetic about carving her own path. She talks about running cattle properties on her own terms, growing an online following of over 800,000 people, and her mission to champion women in agriculture through opportunities, workshops, and mentorship.
Farmer Belle’s story is one of grit, guts, and reinvention, proving there’s no single way to build a future in farming – only determination and a commitment to the land.

Paddock Talk: Episode 4 - A Cut Above: The Eungella Shorthorn Legacy of Steve & Michelle
In this episode of Paddock Talk, Bianca and Dave head to the stunning Dorrigo Plateau in NSW to meet Steve and Michelle, the husband-and-wife team behind Eungella Shorthorns. As fourth-generation farmers, they’ve built a family-run stud producing some of the most marbled, flavoursome beef in the country – a legacy carried on with their three kids and a whole lot of heart.
You’ll hear how world-class genetics and a deep respect for the land result in steaks that truly live up to the name “a cut above.” Steve and Michelle share the realities of farming life, from weather challenges to raising a family on the land, and open up about the frustrations of seeing their premium beef sell for hundreds of dollars while farmers are often left struggling.
Together, they explore what ethical farming really looks like, why partnering with Our Cow has given them stability and pride in their work, and how reconnecting farmers with families is reshaping the future of Aussie food. Plus, don’t miss the recipe segment inspired by Hayden Quinn’s cook-up on the farm – a rib fillet dish that celebrates the Eungella Shorthorn at its best.
