Record prices and total clearance mark standout sale for Golden Hill stud (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everybody involved in this year's Golden Hill White Suffolk and UltraWhite on-property ram sale was astounded when an extraordinary show of buying support pushed price levels to an all-time high for the Kukerin-based stud. The day was hot, both literally and figuratively, as temperatures in the Ditchburn family's shearing shed warmed up and so too did the prices. As has been the case at a number of this year's British and Australasian breed sales, demand outstripped supply which resulted in pric
How saltbush has helped the Lehmann family to create a premium lamb product (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A different lamb marketing pathway has helped to ease the pressure of the 2024 WA sheep market downturn for prime lamb producers Sam and Lauren Lehmann. During the collapse of sheep prices and grower sentiment, the heavy liquidation of the State's flock thanks to high slaughter rates and the substantial turn-off surge which saw farmers offload stock rather than retain ewes for joining, Sam and Lauren strategised to help safeguard their business against the freefall.

A 120-year legacy: How the O'Meehan family keeps their Merino dream alive (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year marks 120 years of Merino production for the O'Meehan family at its Borden farm, Mourcourup.

At the end of that decade, defined by economic hardship, food shortages and families that understood the true definition of grit, Mr Simcock realised that dream. He moved to Manjimup, worked on farms in order to save his pennies and eventually bought and cleared a parcel of land where he established an a
'We'd welcome it with open arms': Kojonup farmers eye a strong finish to season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is shaping up to be a variable cropping season at Kojonup, as well as in several of its neighbouring shires. By and large most farmers are enjoying what they have described as a good year in their reliable pocket of the Great Southern. But interspersed among those men and women are a handful of growers east of the Kojonup townsite, who continue to wait with bated breath for much-needed and immediate rain to fill heads with grain, maintain canola flowers and keep paddocks green until the late
