What We Do
​Redgum River Pastoral Co. stands out as a unique business, specialising in the breeding of Australia’s highest-performance sheep genetics through its distinctive four-tier approach. With over 30 years of experience in the sheep industry, Managing Director Craig Wilson founded the company to integrate the latest advancements in sheep breeding and drive innovation and productivity across the sector. The vision behind Redgum River Pastoral Co. is to not only produce premium sheep but also to serve as a catalyst for change, setting new standards for genetic improvement and operational efficiency within the industry.
​
The company is built around four core focus areas, all designed to improve productivity and profitability for producers, processors, and the broader industry. These pillars – Genetics, Innovation, Sustainability, and Partnership – drive Redgum River’s mission to deliver tangible, lasting benefits across the entire supply chain.
​
The Genetics pillar is at the heart of Redgum River’s operations. By carefully selecting and breeding top-tier genetics, the company produces sheep that consistently delivers superior results. Whether it's increased growth rates for terminals, premium wool quality, or lambing ease, Redgum River’s genetic program ensures that every sheep produced is optimised for the evolving needs of the Australian sheep industry. The focus on precision breeding techniques has allowed the company to stay ahead of the curve, with data-driven decisions and cutting-edge technology guiding each breeding selection.
​
In the realm of Innovation, Redgum River has always sought to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sheep production. The company invests heavily in research and development, collaborating with leading agricultural institutions and adopting the latest breeding technologies. This innovative mindset has led to the development of new systems and practices that improve not only genetic outcomes but also operational efficiencies. From using advanced genomic tools to implementing automated livestock management techniques, Redgum River continually redefines industry standards and helps its clients achieve higher yields and greater profitability.
​
Sustainability is another cornerstone of Redgum River’s approach. As a business committed to long-term growth and success, the company places significant emphasis on responsible land and resource management. Redgum River works to adopt best practices in sustainability, ensuring that breeding programs not only drive economic outcomes but also protect and preserve the land for future generations. By focusing on soil health, water conservation, and animal welfare, Redgum River ensures that every aspect of its operation aligns with the growing demand for ethical, environmentally-conscious farming practices.
​
Finally, Partnership is a key element that sets Redgum River Pastoral Co. apart from many other industry players. The company recognises that its success is deeply intertwined with the success of its partners, including farmers, processors, and suppliers. By fostering strong, collaborative relationships with stakeholders at every stage of the supply chain, Redgum River ensures a holistic approach to problem-solving and innovation. The company offers ongoing support to producers, helping them maximise the genetic potential of their flocks and implement practices that enhance overall farm profitability.
​
Redgum River Pastoral Co. isn’t just a sheep breeding business – it is a forward-thinking, dynamic company that combines experience, expertise, and innovation to shape the future of the Australian sheep industry. Through its unique four-tier approach, Redgum River continues to set new benchmarks for productivity, sustainability, and partnership, ensuring that all of its stakeholders, from farm to market, achieve long-term success.
