Hamish Wald is a Farmer and Stud Owner at ‘Tullinga Dorper Studs’ outside Condobolin. For generations, Hamish’s family have farmed their property and he continues their work with his wife Penny, their two children, a studmaster, and a couple of handy backpackers. 

In this episode, Hamish shares the story of multi-generational farming and how their business has changed. He explains why they changed from exclusively farming wool to dual-purpose Dohne Merinos. He also opens up about adding diversity to their farming operation by incorporating cropping and beef cattle to mitigate risk.

Local Land Services Senior Natural Resource Officer, Jasmine Wells sat down with Hamish for this far-reaching chat.
