Lynton
Lynton grew up on the family farm at Strathalbyn and having always wanted to be a farmer took the opportunity to follow his dream as opportunities presented themselves. He made a gradual transition over 40 years from being a continual cropper with only a few stubble lambs to now being a grazier growing a few stubbles for lambs. It seemed to be a natural progression as the stud became more successful.

He has always tried to be innovative in his approach believing that there is a need to make change to improve outcomes and lives by the saying “If you always do what you what you have always done then you will always get what you have always got.”

Lynton was Chairman of the Australian Border Leicester Association from 1995 -2000 and was also a foundation member of $uperBorder$. He has also been selected to be a representative on a number of industry committees, was awarded a Nuffield Scholarship and has received awards for innovation and in recognition of the achievements within the Inverbrackie Border Leicester stud.

His main focus at the stud is genetic improvement of each generation, seeking new information, as well as day to day duties involving caring for the sheep and maintaining the property.

The Girls

Ellen works as our farm manager after achieving a Bachelor of  Agriculture and Business at University in Armidale.  Lauren is a member of SAPOL however is ready to roll her sleeves up when available. They have handpicked their own ewes that are run within the Inverbrackie flock and enjoy the responsibility, decision making and record keeping that goes with running their sheep and of course the reward when they sell their own rams.

Claire spent her early years on a fruit block in the Riverland and then her family moved to a sheep and cropping property in the South East where she completed her schooling. After trying her hand at several jobs she settled into secretarial roles in South Australia, in Western Australia then back to South Australia before she met Lynton.  After she married Lynton she settled back into farm life.
