The Mudford family - Parkdale Merinos
Wool buyers and other farmers
Mudford families have been farming and grazing in the Gilgandra and Dubbo areas in the Central West of NSW for 100 years. Don and Pam Mudford registered the Parkdale Merino Stud in 1990 after breeding rams for the families’ properties. They have two sons and two daughters.
Parkdale is a well balanced property of 6,000 acres with a mixture of open soft black soils to red clay and red loam slopes. Shade timber has been left for stock and the property is watered by ample ground tanks and several bores to supplement water requirements. There are also two creeks that traverse the property adding shade timber and watering points to the already well watered paddocks.
The property is managed on a rotational grazing system where country is spelled regularly to allow for natural grasses and herbages to establish.
