Best possible FERTILITY

Selection for resitance to heat stress forms the basis of our interest in breeding sheep that are able to stay fertile during the inevitable climatic swings and variations in this area.

BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY

The stud's aim is that of continual improvement in breeding good framed, long stapled, true medium wool sheep.

RESILIANCE

One of our top breeding objectives is to build drought and dust resiliance into our flock profile without making any compromise on wool quality and softness.

THE EARLIEST FLOCK

This association, formerly known as the NSW Sheepbreeders' Association (until 1979), was formed in 1894 "to deal with any matter conducive to the improvement of the breed and quality of sheep". Our membership flock Number 7 is one of the earliest still in existence. We are proud to have played a part in the development of the modern merino.

Our Story

The Buttenshaw family of 'Laurel Park' purchased both the horned and poll stud from 'Billabong' in 1974.


Laurel Park

Since that time, a careful selection of outside bloodlines have been introduced with the prime objective of increasing wool cuts while still maintaining the wool quality and softness. High fertility has always been a top feature of Laurel Park sheep.


Bill Buttenshaw (pictured) says "We pride ourselves on providing a professional and reliable customer service, plus we use a modern, informed approach to stud management".



  • 1974 Laurel Park Stud established by purchase of Billabong horned and poll stud.
  • 1974 to Present day. Strategic selection of outside bloodlines to increase wool cuts while maintaining quality and high fertility.
