Jake Turner lives on a mixed farming enterprise north of Lake Cargelligo, NSW. He is currently in his first year of a Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, NSW. Jake’s passion for the beef industry and the Angus breed started at Yanco Agricultural High School where he was actively involved in the cattle showstock team from years 7 to 12. Alongside seven other like-minded people, Jake is stoked to have the opportunity to not only represent Angus Australia at the World Angus Forum, but also Australia’s wider beef industry.
