Profile
Hall Damara first became involved with fat-tail meat
sheep in 1997 with the purchase of several pure bred
Damara ewes. The performance and characteristics of
these were so impressive that we decided to visit South
Africa early in 1998 to evaluate the different meat
sheep breeds.
Our investigations convinced us that the Damara could
provide exciting opportunities for Australian farmers
from the wheatbelt, pastoral and arid areas. We met
Clynton Collett, president of the South African Damara
Sheep Breed Association and a very respected stud breeder.
We first implanted embryos imported from the Collett
stud, Superior Sheep Genetics, in 1998.
Hall Damara is located at Narembeen, 280 km east of
Perth in Western Australia. Our parent company Hall
Farms Pty Ltd has family origins and a lifetime of respected
dealing across WA.
Since its inception in 1939, the company has grown to
a highly successful cereal and sheep farming operation.
In 1989, we began embryo transfer programs to improve
our Merino flock and became a stud breeder. Hall Damara
currently has a commercial flock of 30,000 Damara crosses
and is expanding. As an extension of the farming activities,
we started salt land reclamation work on our properties.
This developed into a successful salinity control and
drainage business serving several wheatbelt communities
