Richard and Bernie Sharpe are the husband and wife team behind “Winton Park”, a SheepMaster stud they run on their farm, “Coraki”, along the banks of the Bogan River northwest of Parkes. In addition to the stud, they also have a commercial shedding sheep flock with a bit of cropping to complement their sheep enterprise.
In this episode, Richard and Bernie discuss how SheepMasters are different from other breeds of sheep and their benefits for different farming setups. As newcomers to the Parkes region, they also share their experience buying rural property in various areas and their advice for anyone looking to buy.
Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach, chatted with Richard and Bernie at the Forbes office.
