Greg and Alex Nevin, Huon, use their love for the skies, to obtain genetics overseas

Mr and Ms Nevin are qualified pilots, and they regularly fly around Australia and overseas in an effort to find the best genetics possible.

"It gives us the opportunity to see what's available around the world," Mr Nevin said.

"We try to find the best and bring the best back.

"But we make sure it's going to be viable and profitable in Australia before we bring anything home.

"We've actually got a pool of genetics from Germany, France, the UK and US."

He said there was an advantage to physically seeing animals overseas.

"It's not to say that we don't use local genetics as well, as some of the stud lines we do use are local, it is just about finding the best of what's not here, and bringing it back to what's going to be profitable," he said.

Mr Nevin grew up in Wodonga, while Ms Nevin grew up in Deniliquin, NSW.

While they both came from farming backgrounds, he said "we never thought we'd be farmers ourselves".

The couple met in the Kimberley, WA, where they were both working as pilots flying to remote parts of the country with organisations like the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Ms Nevin said all the experience of flying did have great benefits, but there had been a bit of recent turbulence.

"During COVID, it's probably not the best thing to be married to another pilot, as all your eggs are in one basket," she said

"But it definitely is beneficial for our farm and we did have that to fall back on during then."

After moving to Victoria in 2015, they decided to begin their stud Ace Limousins.

"We actually tailored our aviation careers around our farming lifestyle," he said.

"[While] our farm was nowhere near the sizes you'd see in the Kimberley and you can't justify helicopters, we thought that what makes sense commercially in handling cattle is a drone.

"There are similar principles in flying a drone."

He said drones were not "foolproof" but there was versatility and cost benefits to the technology.
