Merrigrange Angus was based on bloodlines of Ardmore and Victoree back in 1959 and I have been responsible for the exhibition of Merrigrange cattle at all the Royal shows for many years, gaining the 32nd consecutive most successful exhibitor award for the stud and a number of Inter breed winners at Melbourne and Sydney Royal.

I am Principal of the “Merridale” Angus Stud which consists of 320 hectares. This stud is based mainly on Merrigrange bloodlines, purchasing mostly elite embryos to rapidly expand my herd. Merridale cattle have been successful at Sydney Melbourne and Adelaide, gaining Interbreed Champions at all these Royal Shows. I have a commercial cattle enterprise as well and I operate a 350-cow dairy on one of the farms.
