Caroonboon Merinos

Over the years the Stud has had major success at shows and sales, winning
the Riverina Ewe of the Year 5 times and the Riverina Ram of the Year
once.

Caroonboon Station regularly tops the Hay and Deniliquin sales with their
surplus ewes offered.

Caroonboon Stud has remained under the direction of the Dickson family
for nearly 150 years. In that time the Stud has sold rams to most areas of the
Riverina and Central NSW.

Bill & Margie Pye of Calga Station Coonamble NSW purchased Caroonboon
Station from the Dickson family in 2014 and began a commercial dohne ewe
operation at Wanganella to complement their existing Calga Uardry & DD
Dohne Stud enterprise at Coonamble.

A change of Stud ownership occurred in 2018 when Margie was approached
by Jim Dickson as to the possibility of returning the Stud to its original home
at Caroonboon Station. The Pye family embraced the offer whole heartedly
and the merino stud ewes began their return to Caroonboon in August 2018.

The Pye family have retained the services of Jim Dickson as Studmaster
and and classer Ian Lilburne. Both Jim and Ian spent time as jackaroos on
Uardry in their early years and were fortunate to learn from Tom Lilburne
OAM (Ian's father) the Uardry classer for many years.

Margie Georgie and Sandy Pye in conjunction with the classing team and
nd
staff look forward to presenting a good line up of sale rams at the 2 on
property auction on the 8th September 2020 at Caroonboon Station where
there will be 75 rams up for auction.
