Save Share You wouldnât know it to look at them, but Alasdair MacLeodâs cows have a superpower. Theyâre helping to save the planet. MacLeod, the husband of Rich Lister Prudence MacLeod and the son-in-law of Rupert Murdoch, is the owner of Wilmot Cattle Company, which operates two farms in the New England district of northern NSW. Over the past decade, the investor, entrepreneur and former News Corporation director has become a passionate advocate for regenerative farming, a practice that promotes the careful management of pastures â in his case guided by state-of-the-art technology â to improve efficiency and reduce environmental damage.
