About Trefusis Poll Merino Stud

OUR HISTORY

Trefusis has been in the McEwan family for nearly a century. The 7036 hectare property is situated in the Midlands of Tasmania fifteen minutes south east of Ross. The land was first granted to William Bunster in the 1830’s. He built the original middle part of the current homestead.

My grandfather Alec McEwan purchased Trefusis in 1923 and started to build up a flock of Saxon Superfine Merinos. My father Jim McEwan took over managing the property in 1948 at the age of 18 after the death of his father. My parents Jim and Jo started a Merino Stud in 1965 due to the fact that they were having trouble sourcing a good amount of suitable Merino flock rams annually.

Family succession planning was undertaken in 2007 between my parents and three sisters. Hamish and I decided to sell our property Uplands at Deddington and move back to Trefusis where we undertook ownership in our own right.
