Who Are We?

Matt has always enjoyed raising livestock which is pretty handy when you're Chair of Tooraweenah Prime Lamb Marketing Coop.  Matt and wife Bek live at "Oakleigh" Tooraweenah.  Matt and Bek began custom feedlotting lambs in between 10-12 weeks.  Matt meets with the other Directors every month to discuss markets.  "We continue to work with others in the industry to ensure we are up to date with the latest developments in stock husbandry and health, which helps ensure our product is the best available.  We don't just hand our  livestock over to anyone.   We maintain control of quality and traceability right from the farm gate onto the customer". 

Jenny has extensive knowledge of sheep production, which extends to the sheep industry supply chain. She is the co-owner/operator for a mixed farming business in the central west NSW, focused on prime lamb and wool production, which also includes a seedstock breeding operation that is part of Sheep Genetics (LAMBPLAN).

Jenny’s philosophy includes embracing science and technology to deliver positive production outcomes throughout the supply chain from breeding through to slaughter. She also contributes her passion for this facete of the industry through her involvement in various boards and committees.

 Will Lambell from “Weenya” Gulargambone NSW breeds up to 1500 merino lambs and 800 XB lambs a year.  Will and his family have been operating their family property for multiple generations, producing top quality sheep, cattle, crops and, of course, lamb! 

The care and attention Will and his family give to their livestock makes for some of the tastiest meat.

Will and his family have been a part of Tooraweenah Prime Lamb Cooperative since 1998 and Will has recently been appointed as a director. 

 Mark is from ‘Blairgowrie’ Mendooran a family farm which was started by his great grandfather 130 years ago. Blairgowrie is a mixed farming business which grows winter cereal crops and runs Angus cattle and first cross ewes. Mark returned to the farm in 2020 after decades working in Sydney in various supply chain roles within the FMCG environment. Mark and his wife Kate hope to bring a more data driven approach to their farming business and Mark hopes to incorporate some of the skills he acquired in the corporate world to the Tooraweenah lamb group.

Harry is from Binnaway NSW, where he operates “Cuttabaloo” a second-generation family property alongside his family. The mixed farming operation consists of sheep, cattle and cropping enterprises. Prior to returning to the family property, Harry completed a ‘Bachelor in Farm Business Management’ at Marcus Oldham College in Geelong and spent some time working in South Australia on large prime lamb operation with an 8000 head lamb feedlot. This valuable experience has allowed Harry to bring some new ideas back to the family farm.

Harry’s father has been a member of TPLMC for over 25 years and has seen the benefits of a co-op first hand. Harry hopes to bring fresh ideas to the co-op to ensure it is around for another 25 years; successfully expanding whilst continuing to provide more to its valued members.
