Karawatha Park
Mules-free, resilient, profitable sheep producing fibre which is lustrous, bright and defined, with the heavy fleece weight that South Australian Merino is renowned for.
Welcome to Karawatha Park
Located high on South Australia’s beautiful Eyre Peninsula, Karawatha Park has been owned and operated by the Woolford family for almost 100 years.
Drawing on the hard-won knowledge of the generations that came before us and the very best that today’s genetic technology has to offer, Karawatha Park produces seedstock rams with bloodlines that are second to none.
Responsible flock and environmental management practices are at the core of our business, bringing sustainable, modern practices to an industry steeped in tradition.
Let’s talk numbers
At Karawatha Park
Our rams are mules-free and sire sheep which are resilient, fertile and fast-growing with minimal skin wrinkle and a dust and water repellent fleece; sheep which produce high-value fibre and plenty of it, bred and raised in low-rainfall saltbush country, a harsh environment which gives them the constitution to perform in Australia’s toughest conditions.
You can have complete control over the genetic makeup of your sheep. Along with careful in-flock selection, you rely on the very best seedstock to achieve genetic gain.
At Karawatha Park, we understand this and we aim to support you to achieve the continual improvement your business requires.
About Karawatha Park
Karawatha Park is a family farming operation, passionate about the land and animals that we are responsible for. Based near Kimba, South Australia, Bert and Barb, along with Dion and Chelsea are keen participants in the agricultural industry. Sustainably and responsibly, the Karawatha Park Team have been producing food and fibre for 4 generations. With George and Lara looking keen, a 5th Generation seems likely!
‘Tomorrow’s Genetics Today’
Cropping
Our cropping program includes wheat, barley and oats for hay, along with legume-based pastures for weed control and to supply a natural source of nitrogen to next year’s crop. We operate in low-rainfall saltbush country, and our cropping and sheep co-exist out here nicely as many of our pasture improvement operations benefit both.
Livestock
In addition to our nucleus flock which helps us to produce high-quality seedstock, we also run a commercial flock. Our commercial flock goals align with our client’s goals for their own flocks – high performance and continuous improvement.
Stud
For more than two decades we have offered the very best genetics to help you grow great sheep. Our rams are mules-free and sire easy-care sheep that are resilient, fertile, fast-growing. Our annual, on-property Ram Sale is an event not to be missed. We’d love to welcome you to Karawatha on Friday 23 August, 2024.
