About Us.
In 2019 Probreed launched to bring exceptional sheep to the Australian market by expanding on the knowledge gained from our many trials and lessons within the pig industry.
As part of Murnong Farming Genetics, we employ a systematic approach to rearing livestock where we tailor, monitor, record and optimise every aspect of our farming process in-order to rear high performing rams and facilitating multiple births with around a 190% weaning success rate across our mature aged flock.
The Farm.
We are located on the edge of the western district of southern Victoria in Inverleigh just one and half hours’ drive west of Melbourne.
We farm our own properties Murnong, Waverley, Yallambie and Shelleys supplemented and have a long term lease of Waterlands. The total area farmed is 1200 ha’s comprising of cropping, fodder production, stud Maternal, Probreed Plus and Terminal sheep and commercial prime lamb production.

WHy Probreed.
Our sheep genetics business arose from a desire to challenge traditional farming beliefs by bringing the technology, our successes and know-how from the pig industry into the sheep industry.
Collaborative
We love sharing what we do with our clients, relish your feedback and adjust our breeding programme accordingly. Because together we are better.
Dedicated to data
Genetic gain comes from accurate data. That’s why every lamb has a full pedigree and is measured and assessed for all of the important traits.
Our process incorporates the whole farm; where we optimise and adjust every element of our program to maximise performance in relation to your unique requirements and farming environment.
Simply put, we don’t rear our sheep, we rear your sheep, and we are so confident in our process that we guarantee you will achieve genetic gain.
Innovative
We are always looking for ways to improve how we do things, whether it is in our breeding programs or our farming operation.
