Our 2IC Lucien Keightley first set foot on Palliser Ridge at the beginning of 2013 as one of our annual Second Year Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre Students. Quickly impressing those around him with his fencing and sheep handling skills, the timing was perfect as a Shepherd Vacancy arose on Farm as he was due to finish his Taratahi Training that June.
Moving through the ranks to Senior Shepherd, and more recently in 2016 to the Palliser Ridge 2IC position, Lucien has up-skilled and grown into his role of coordinating the daily and weekly tasks on the ground, assisting Kurt with Farm decisions, and leading and teaching our Junior Shepherd, TATC Second Year Students, and any other young people who are on farm for work experience.
