The ‘best of both worlds’

BOTH carcase and wool quality are achievable using dual purpose Dohne genetics, says Barker Trading Partnership owner, Wal Barker, “Cooroora”, Grenfell. He owns and leases land for his mixed farming enterprise across a total of 1821 hectares. Previously a pure Merino breeder of many years, Mr Barker said they changed to Dohnes when the wool prices slumped and did not pick up for 15 years. “We were selling wether lambs and thought we better have a better body,” he said. Mr Barker now joins 3400 pure Dohne ewes to lamb in September. His flock is self-replacing and he retains up to 90 per cent of the ewe lambs each year. Continue reading

Bruce Peat of Three Rivers Specialty Meats at Echuca stakes a claim

BUTCHER, abattoir owner, farmer — Bruce Peat has done it all.
