Many breakthroughs come from people noticing, and following up on, unusual observations or anomalies. Often, their passions are funded {\textquotedblleft}from the back pocket{\textquotedblright} for several years; until sufficient information is secured to justify a formal funding application.

The Living Legend Lecture invites distinguished longterm members of NZSAP to make a scholarly presentation at the Society{\textquoteright}s annual conference in recognition of their contribution to New Zealand Animal Production over a substantial period of time. Heeding the Guidelines
recommendation to consider members resident in the area holding the conference, the 2015 organising committee chose to nominate the contributions of the scientists and technical staff of an iconic Institution, rather than acknowledge a single individual{\textquoteright}s work. No specific animal production {\textquotedblleft}theme{\textquotedblright} was selected. Instead, it was decided to highlight the contribution of the Invermay Agricultural Centre as a whole...},

	abstract = {The development of more productive sheep is possible through  selection within breeds and crossbreeding or by importing new genetic  material. The introduction of new breeds involves complex and time  consuming development of import protocols, and health testing of source  flocks and individuals prior to entry into NZ. Repeat health testing of  sheep (and/or recipient ewes receiving embryos) and long scrapie  surveillance protocols are required prior to release. Of the new  breeds, the East Friesian with large body size, high fecundity and milk  production, leanness and moderate wool production will likely prove the  catalyst for a sheep milking industry, and will be a component of a  productive meat and wool dam. Early data confirm that the East Friesian  offers considerable opportunities in these areas.   },

	abstract = {Groups of 33 Coopworth ewes were drenched with either 25mg zearalenone, <UI>Fusarium culture (containing 25mg zearalenone) or water (controls) daily for 10 days pre-mating commencing on day 7 of the cycle following oestrus synchronisation with CIDRs. Reproductive performance was markedly reduced in the ewes treated with zearalenone or the Fusarium culture, with only 9.1\% and 15.6\% of ewes yielding fertilised eggs compared to 57.6\% of the control ewes. Treatment reduced the number of ewes ovulating although displaying oestrus. Treated groups had 46\% of ewes anovular compared to 12\% in the controls. The ovulation rate for those ewes ovulating was less in the treated ewes (1.55) than the controls (1.86). Treatment with zearalenone or FusariumM culture reduced the proportion of egg- yielding ewes that had fertilised eggs (27.3\% and 55.5\%) compared to the controls (100\%). Treated ewes had a markedly longer duration of oestrus and it was evident from corpus luteum size that the oestrus-ovulation relationship had been disturbed.},

	abstract = {Twelve ram lambs bred for resistance or susceptibility to sporidesmin dosing were operated on under general anaesthetic and T-way catheters inserted into the common bile duct to facilitate collection of bile. After a recovery period of 14 days the animals were given an oral dose of sporidesmin at a rate of 0.08 mg/kg/d over 3 consecutive days. A trace amount of 35S-labelled sporidesmin was also given on the first and third day of dosing to allow quantitation of sporidesmin appearing in the bile fluid. Bile samples were collected at 0.5 to 1 hourly intervals for 24 hours after the first and third dosing. Results showed bile concentrations of sporidesmin increasing to a maximum in 1 to 3 hours and then declining over the following 20 hours. There was considerable individual variation among animals in the pattern of uptake and in the maximal concentration reached after dosing. In some animals there was a marked increase in biliary sporidesmin from the first to the third oral dosing while other animals showed little observed increase at these times. A positive correlation (P<0.05) was found between liver- damage score at slaughter and maximum sporidesmin concentration in bile after the third but not the first oral dosing. These findings raise the possibility that an initial or {\textquoteright}potentiating{\textquoteright} dose of sporidesmin may be required before {\textquoteright}susceptibility{\textquoteright} or {\textquoteright} resistance{\textquoteright} to facial eczema is expressed.},
