The original family farm of Green Valley is situated near Frankland in the South West of Western Australia. Green Valley farm is owned and operated by Robert and Cheryl Crosby who have been sheep farming for over 40 years. The Crosby’s are known for breeding predominately merinos for wool and also x bred lambs for meat. Robert and Cheryl's son Darren grew up on the Crosby family farm learning from
“on farm experience”. Darren worked on the family farm and also on neighbouring properties. Green Valley Lamb was established in 2010 by Darren and Tammy. We are based in Manjimup with our children Katie and Josh. We lease a number of farms scatted throughout the South West. The region is perfect for raising x bred lambs for meat because of the rich soils and ample rainfall which grows the best pasture for sheep feed. Darren’s passion is to produce top quality x bred lambs by using Multipurpose Merino ewe’s and Border Leister rams to produce a First cross Border Leister mums. Darren believes that breeding lambs from the first cross Border Leister mums over the Poll Dorset ram produces a quality meat lamb. The lambs are grazed in large paddocks with their mums until they are old enough to be weaned. Once weaned this is at about 16 weeks the lambs are moved to fresh pasture to finish the lamb off to be at the precise weight for local butchers.
