The Greer Family purchased Booroomugga back in 1992, previously ran as a Merino Sheep enterprise, later years changed to cattle breeding now estimated to run 350 breeding cows and followers weaning and sell progeny at 10 month depending on season conditions as well as selling on average 800 bush goats harvested in timbered country each year. A further directional change could be to run Dorper X sheep as the intense fencing is to these standards.
