Since founding Adopt-A-Beast in 2019, Nathalie's passion for helping farmers and advancing the cattle industry has only grown stronger. She is committed to making a positive impact and supporting our agricultural community in meaningful ways.

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 and joined Adopt-A-Beast, aiming to assist in any way she can to help others facing similar struggles.

One of the first members of Adopt-A-Beast and our very first secretary, Barbara has lived on the land in the Tamworth area of New South Wales from childhood to her teenage years. Her parents had sheep, cattle, poultry and crops, and had suffered through droughts, floods and financial problems.

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. Taking on work for us as an ambassador, she is committed to going above and beyond to help the community understand our work and the reasons behind it.

Sheryl has spent most of her career in sales and has always been driven by a passion for helping people and building strong connections. Other roles in real estate and marketing means she has been able to expand her skills and work closely with the community.

Now into retirement, Sheryl is focusing on giving back, dedicated to helping both animals and people wherever possible. With a big heart and a desire to make a difference, she is looking forward to this next chapter of meaningful impact.

Bec has a long history of volunteering and being involved in local community organisations.
