Welcome Robert\nRobert Mackenzie 1:15 \nit thanks for having me Dan and and welcome all of your followers and all of the listeners. My name's Robert McKenzie, I'm the fourth generation. Beef producer in our family, very proud of that. The business or the, the stems back from 1884, where my, my grandfather's Arnie's raised my grandfather on the east coast of Australia.
