Some big news at Model Barn, after 5 years at the helm, Brandon is leaving to start his dairy farming career. Brandon has dabbled in farming some years ago & is keen to get outdoors with gumboots on again so he knows what he's in for. He is especially looking forward to 4am starts. Brandon's last day is August 13 & we will have cake so if you're cruising by, call in & wish him well. He will also be on duty this Saturday August 8. Brandon has been a integral part of Model Barn during the last 5 years & he will sure be missed by staff, customers & suppliers alike. We wish him all the best. We may even see him at Fieldays again as a farmer!!
