Neethorp Angora & Texel Stud

About

Situated on 16 Hectares at Forcett, near Sorrell in Tasmania South East. Neethorp Stud incorporates a Texel Sheep Stud as well as the Angora Stud. I started my involvement with Angora Goats back in 1978 in partnership with my Sister and Brother in law under the stud name of Carlton Beach Angoras.

We purchased our initial animals from Mike and Sue Fama who lived in Gillingbrook Road Forcett, just up the road from where I currently live.

I brought my own property in Gillingbrook Road in 2002.

I have been involved in the Tasmanian Region and Division activities since 1978 serving as both President and Treasurer. I took over the presidency of the Division the year that Mohair Australia was formed and served on the Mohair Australia Board for 6 years. I served as President of Tasmania for 8 years have just been re-elected as President.

I currently run 75 angoras endeavoring to breed fine mohair. I have used bucks from Lyndon Grove Stud of Lynne and Don Carter and recently I have purchased bucks from lara Downs.

Stud and Flock animals available.
