TLC Team & Professional Network
TLC / TFS Team Fiji
Led by Managing Director Simon Walton, the company draws on decades of professional experience in Australia, Fiji, the Pacific and Asia, supported by a Fiji-based team and an extensive network of trusted livestock and agricultural professionals.
Simon Walton
Managing Director | Livestock Genetics & Reproduction Specialist
Simon is an Australian livestock and reproductive-technology specialist with more than 30 years' experience in cattle genetics, artificial insemination, embryo technologies, semen production, herd development and livestock breeding systems.
His career combines commercial cattle production, reproductive biotechnology, research and practical livestock-program implementation. He has owned and operated cattle enterprises in Australia for more than 25 years and has worked with government, commercial and agricultural organisations across Australia, Fiji, the Pacific and Asia.
His previous professional experience includes major cattle genetic-improvement and reproductive programs in Fiji, commercial livestock and genetics work associated with THACO AGRI in Vietnam and Cambodia, dairy reproductive-technology work with Shanghai Dairy Group in China, and extensive Australian cattle breeding and reproductive work.
Through TLC, Simon now applies that experience to the development and delivery of practical livestock programs suited to tropical production environments.
