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 = {Groups of five stags and hinds were slaughtered in late summer (February/March) to examine the effects of age and sex of animal on meat quality. For both sexes the groups were the following ages: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years. In the 2 year old age group for stags there were three weight groups and additionally there was one group of 8 year old stags and one of 13 year old hinds. The group mean hot carcass weight (HCW) range was 51 to 119 kg for stags and 43 to 57 kg for hinds. The HCW{\textquoteleft}s tended to increase with age but the {\textquoteleft}light{\textquoteleft} and {\textquoteleft}medium{\textquoteleft} weight 2 year old males had lower (P< 0.05) mean HCW than all of the other male groups including the 1 year olds. The GR increase with age was much greater in stags than in hinds; 80\% of the stags 3 years and older and 27\% of the hinds 3 years and older graded over-fat. In both hinds and stags, GR was strongly related to carcass weight. Meat from 5 and 8 year old stags was much tougher (P< 0.05) than that from all other groups. Of all the attributes measured as possible indicators of animal age, only carcass neck a* value (redness) was able to accurately discriminate ages of animal and provided the best categorisation of animals into tenderness classes. },

	abstract = {This study reports on the performance of some of the original animals  used to establish the Invermay deer farm. These comprised a selection of  some of the original 1973 animals, 21 hinds of unknown age and 19 of the  first hind calves born at Invermay in that year. Reproductive performance, expressed as the percentage of hinds weaning  calves, decreased slowly from 90\% at 6 and 7 years of age, to 50\% at 17  years, then dropped markedly with only one calf being successfully reared in  each season when the hinds were 19 and 20 years. Similarly, few (5/21) of  the older unknown-age hinds raised calves when > 17 years old. When  blood sampled twice-weekly during the breeding season (rising 21 years of  age), only 6/12 of the known-age hinds had significant plasma progesterone  concentrations, with only 3 animals displaying anything like normal cyclical  patterns. In addition, most had elevated plasma LH concentrations. Post  mortem examination revealed that all these hinds had small reproductive  tracts and very few ovarian follicles at this age. Despite an ability to live beyond 20 years, these results suggest that waning  reproductive performance with age may be due to ovarian failure.},
