Burbidge Farms is a family run business which specialises in fine wool production between Tarcutta and Tumbarumba on the South West Slopes of NSW and at Simpson in South West Victoria, Australia.

The principals are Grant and Annette Burbidge. Burbidge Farms has a flock of about 28,000 fine wool merino sheep.

In 2015 the first Shear Anywhere upright position wool harvesting equipment was manuf

actured for Burbidge Farms. By 2022 more than 175,000 sheep had been shorn on the system. This system is less stressful for the shearers and produces superior wool handling compared to conventional shearing.

The saying goes “Overnight success usually takes 15 years”. In this case nearly 40 years.

It was only achieved by those who have assisted us over those 40 years. A special thank you to Annette, Megan, Tim and Nicola. Also to our current shearing team and all those who came before them. It just shows that shearing and wool preparation on our Shear Anywhere platform system enables superior wool preparation for the most discerning Italian wool processors.

A big thank you to others who have been vital to our success; Andrew and Carmel Woods, Kevin Atkins, Anne Ramsay and Wayne Beecher.
