Led by GippsDairy’s Kim Price, dairy farmers Chris Anderson, Lyn Hornby and Thelma Hutchison discussed their histories in the industry and provided advice about longevity.
Dozens of sponsors meant there were many ‘door prizes’ for participants to take home.
It was also the launch day to acknowledge the new logo for Gippsland’s women in dairy group, designed by veterinarian Dr Alex Boileau.
The competition for a new logo was launched at last year’s Christmas gathering.
The group is three years strong and a joint initiative between dairy farmers, GippsDairy and industry service providers.
