Move over John Wayne … RCS has its own cowboy hero — a man who needs no introduction to many of you: Raymond Stacey.
With a lifetime in grazing, including 30 years running the family business in North Queensland, Raymond brings over 50 years of practical experience to the RCS team. His journey with RCS began back in August 1989, when a small ad in Queensland Country Life led him to meet Terry McCosker — and in February 1990 he attended the very first GrazingforProfit® School (then called Ranching for Profit) in Yeppoon.
Raymond is passionate about helping skill people to manage healthy country and profitable enterprises. He supports graziers’ professional development through one-on-one coaching, on-property visits and RCS KIT Days.
Outside of grass, Raymond’s greatest love is his wife Jeanette. Together they share a passion for horses and have raised two children, both now working in agriculture — one on a ranch in Alberta, Canada, and the other in Deniliquin, NSW.
Today, Raymond and Jeanette are thriving on the eastern Darling Downs, while he continues to share his wisdom with graziers across Australia through his work with RCS.
If you’d like to book an on-property visit with Raymond next time he’s in your area, give us a call on 1800 356 004.

In this article, David McLean shares the thinking, experiences, and practical insights that led to a significant change in perspective on virtual fencing technology. From grazing management and labour efficiency to carrying capacity and business flexibility, it explores where the opportunities may lie, where caution is still needed, and why the potential impact could be far greater than simply replacing physical fences.
Uncertainty has become a defining feature of the current operating environment. Global politics, domestic and international climate conditions, and volatile commodity markets are all creating genuine pressure and raising reasonable questions about strategy in agribusiness. When we strip it back, there are really only two choices in how we respond.
One of Covey’s first principles in management is to do the right things well. That is, to be effective, not just efficient. One of the great conundrums of modern life is that it is possible to be 100% efficient and 0% effective. In no industry is this truer than in agriculture. In this article, Dom Walker broadens the recent conversation around ‘regenerative agriculture’ being painted as a ‘do nothing’ approach to farming.
