Schulz Shorts: Paul 'Chook' Fowler, Farm Manager

Tell us what you do at Schulz in 25 words or less.

I manage the day-to-day running of the farm, which involves looking after the health of our cows, cropping and pasture management as well as the milking program.

If you were in a movie, what would it be and what character would you play?

Gerard Butler’s character in Gamer, an American science fiction/action film about participants in a game being controlled by ‘gamers’ in real life. The gamer controlling Gerard Butler (me) in the film is called Simon (ha,ha). In the film my character breaks free of the game because ‘Simon’ trusts him and he knows what he’s doing!

What’s your earliest dairy memory?

The 1983 Ash Wednesday fires. I was 10 years old and had to step up on the farm to help with milking our cows, before and after school, while Dad was fighting fires.


How do you have your coffee?

Schulz Organic Full Cream Milk cappuccino.


What’s the most unusual way to use a Schulz product?

As mentioned in last month’s Moosletter, we have been spreading milk out onto the pastures to increase sugar content in the grasses. This sweetens the grass, promoting growth and improving soil health. 

If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you take with you? 

  1. Foxtel, so I can keep watching the footy.

  2. My wife, so I don't get in trouble.

  3. A spit, so I can still have a roast every Sunday.

What is your favourite saying on the farm?

Good job Bob.

What would your last meal be?

Roast lamb with all the trimmings.

What is your go-to knock off drink?

A nice cold beer.
