Audrey Bird ‘Windorah Farms’ Wickepin WA

For Western Australian sheep and grain producer, Audrey Bird, the extremely short growing season has led her to make some big changes in her livestock management regime to better synchronise her animals’ nutritional requirements with pasture growth and feed availability, resulting in a more sustainable and resilient business.

Audrey and her family own and operate ‘Windorah Farms’, a mixed cropping and prime lamb enterprise that operates across several properties outside Wickepin in the southern wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

As Audrey explains, by taking a strong systems approach to her business and being an early adopter of science and technology, she has demonstrably improved sustainability and productivity across the business.
