Who are we?
The new owners of Glenlea Park Merinos
The Glenlea Park Poll Merino stud has new owners, the Murdoch family, who have decades of experience running the North Cowie stud in Warooka. They saw the acquisition as an opportunity to further their passion for Merino breeding and relocated the stud to Keith, South Australia.
Having previously used Glenlea Park sires with success, they respect its genetics and aim to preserve its legacy while refining its high-performance sheep known for rich, lustrous wool and strong adaptability.
Their first on-property sale is planned for August 2025, featuring around 170 rams, and they will continue hosting a Yorke Peninsula sale for their long-standing clients. Peter Wallis, the previous owner, will remain in an advisory role for a year to support a smooth transition.
