    Episode 37 | Creating Scalable Businesses through Systems and Social Media, with Zeke Bennett
    2026/07/27
    Episode Summary: In this episode of The Angus Table, Scott Wright sits down with Zeke Bennett, founder of Maintain Me landscaping and operator of Zele Angus stud in Gippsland Victoria, for a conversation about building scalable businesses, implementing systems, and authentic marketing. Zeke shares his unconventional journey from high school dropout with hydroponic tomato and poultry farming background (3,000 free-range hens by age 14), national competitive swimming and circus acrobatics, banking receptionist role, and launching Maintain Me landscaping in Sydney by mowing lawns and taking heavy laboring work. He discusses scaling Maintain Me from sole operator to 18-20 full-time staff through four years of trial-and-error system development at $200,000+ cost while maintaining quality standards, and transitioning to his Angus operation on a run down farm in Shady Creek near Warragul.Scott and Zeke discuss how systems-thinking from Maintain Me applies to farm operations, authentic unscripted social media marketing generating interstate sales, expensive first-herd lessons, breeding focus on temperament and feet, the Gen Angus program impact, and why farmers are their own best brand ambassadors. So pull up a chair at the Angus Table for this conversation about building systems across industries, authentic storytelling, and creating businesses that scale without losing quality.Key topics covered:How Zeke progressed from high school dropout through poultry farming and circus acrobatics to founding Maintain Me landscaping and now operating Zele Angus studOn creating competitive advantage in the Sydney market by implementing an innovative online booking system and systems/processes in landscaping industryScaling Maintain Me from sole operator to 18-20 full-time staff through four years of trial-and-error system development at $200,000+ cost while maintaining quality standardsHow Zeke transitioned Maintain Me operations from hands-on daily work to managing 20 staff interstate from Gippsland by gradually reducing days spent in Sydney over multiple yearsWhy Zeke applies business systems and investment thinking from landscaping to farm operations focusing on time-saving, safety improvements, and animal productivityHow an expensive first APR herd purchase taught valuable lessons leading to focus on HBR genetics and improved selection criteriaWhy Zeke's breeding objectives prioritise quiet temperament, sound feet, and easy calving from commercial F1 background experience and market needsHow authentic unscripted social media marketing (never direct selling, just showing daily work) generates sales and interest from interstate clients without traditional advertisingWhy Zeke keeps the landscaping business separate from Angus marketing and avoids mentioning Sydney company publicly to maintain authentic farm-focused brandThe importance of speaking to people, asking questions, and building networks without revealing all ideas prematurelyContact details:Contact Zeke via the Zele Angus website https://zele.com.au/This podcast is proudly brought to you by Angus Australia https://www.angusaustralia.com.au/+Follow Angus Australia on + Facebook + Instagram + X + LinkedIn + +Follow Angus Youth Australia on + Facebook + Instagram + X + CREDITS:Host: Scott Wright, CEO.

  • Episode 35 | Inside Angus GenetiQ: Accuracy, Efficiency and Innovation in Genetic Evaluation, with Dr Vinzent Boerner & Carel Teseling

    Episode 35 | Inside Angus GenetiQ: Accuracy, Efficiency and Innovation in Genetic Evaluation, with Dr Vinzent Boerner & Carel Teseling
    2026/07/13

    In this episode, host Scott Wright, Carel Teseling and Dr. Vinzent Boerner discuss the development and capabilities of Angus GenetiQ.

    Dr Vinzent Boerner and Carel Teseling explain the five-year development journey of Angus GenetiQ, including how and why Angus Australia developed its own genetic evaluation system independent of third-party providers.

    They explain the system architecture solving 150-170 million equations weekly, why weekly runs benefit members more than monthly alternatives, how genetic correlations are estimated, why avoiding pre-adjustments improves accuracy, the impact of HeiferSELECT/SteerSELECT alignment, and how new traits can be added within weeks.

    So pull up a chair at the Angus Table for this conversation about genetic independence, scientific rigour, and the system supporting breed decisions.

    Key topics covered:

    • Vinzent's PhD background in genetics and ten-year AGBU career prior to working with Angus on Angus GenetiQ.
    • Why Angus Australia embarked on this development process and the journey to get Angus GenetiQ live
    • System architecture: 150-170 million equations across 4 million pedigree animals, 25 genetic effects, 500,000 genotypes running weekly.
    • The efficiency that allows Angus Genetiq to run on modest hardware
    • How genetic correlations are estimated and why avoiding pre-adjustments improves accuracy
    • Available traits: gestation, birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, final weight, mature weights, body condition, cow height, maternal value, scrotal, carcass, EMA, P8 fat, MSA marbling, coat type plus temperament EBV. with more coming later this year
    • Weekly evaluation benefits: faster turnaround for genotype rejections and quicker member results on late submissions.
    • HeiferSELECT/SteerSELECT alignment: both commercial and seedstock run through same evaluation ensuring consistency between systems.\
    • How flexible the model is and Vinzent’s predictions of what is possible vs what is likely in the future
    • The importance of independence and self-sufficiency for Angus and how Malshani and the team are building long-term maintenance capability
