A Different Approach to Sheep Farming

Most sheep breeds were designed for a different era of farming. The Damara wasn’t.

At Hamilton Ridge Damara Stud, we chose the Damara breed because it fits the way modern Australian farming actually works — low overhead, high adaptability, and built for variable conditions without constant intervention.

We’re not chasing show rings or production records. We’re breeding sheep that earn their keep in the real world — on real country, in real seasons, for farmers who are running a serious operation.

About Hamilton Ridge Damara Stud

We didn’t stumble into Damara sheep. We researched our way to them.
