Richard and Victoria farm Dumgree, a 720 ha effective dryland sheep and beef farm in the Awatere Valley. They run a breeding, finishing and trading operation. In 2017 the couple won the Marlborough Sheep and Beef Farmer of the year competition. Some of the strengths of the business include having a degree of flexibility, generating sound returns from a high-performance sheep operation and utilising the power of a lucerne platform. Winning the competition in 2017 has given the confidence to know they are on the right track and helped identify many future opportunities.
