After completing a degree in Pharmacy at Sydney University, I took over the family business in Parramatta.
In 1980, I then went onto purchase Elmore Station near Inverell NSW, and was really able to indulge my passion for breeding, starting with Limousin cattle when they were being pioneered as a new breed in Australia, as well as running a merino & fat lamb enterprise.
In 2004, we purchased Riverbourne, a property at Captains Flat and began the search for the perfect sheep and found the Dorper.

I think my connection with sheep started when I was about two, Mum tells me that I cried everytime I heard one bleat. Not very promising, but things did look up!
I grew up on a property in the marginal country of the Riverina, where dust storms and drought were more common than good years, still that didn't put me off.
Our purchase of Riverbourne has begun a journey of learning about the Dorper and being part of its evolution from a new exotic breed to a dynamic force in the Australian fat lamb industry.
