Sheep
In recent years, sheep have mostly disappeared from this area, and for various reasons the Dingo menace has become a huge problem. We have been able to resolve the problem by running Maremma guard dogs with our flock, which is an old concept in new beginnings on Dunluce. This has enabled our sheep to continue to thrive in a safe environment.

Flinders River Lamb
In 2005, Dohne rams were introduced into our flock. These South African dual purpose Merinos are adapting well to this environment and have enabled us to develop Flinders River Lamb.
