Jill Grieve 18.01.1946 — 20.08.2022
This year we lost Peter’s beloved sister and partner in the Talooby business, Jill Grieve. Jill was well known in the Angus world and with the help of Peter ran her own Red Angus Stud. As mentioned on the Angus Australia website Jill took it upon herself to promote the Angus breed at a time when they were not even popular to the general Australian public and she designed and marketed Angus Australia merchandise from AgQuip to Sydney Show and the Angus show and sale. A wonderfully kind, fashionable, intelligent and witty personality that will be terribly missed by all who knew her. Rest in Peace Jill.
