Demo Farm Feature: Tintara
“Tintara” located in the Boyup Brook Shire of Western Australia is home to Ben, Esther and Theo Creek, parents Richard and Caroline Creek as well as staff, Mike Jones.
They run a mixed enterprise business comprising of 1800ha which runs 60% sheep and 40% cropping.
The sheep enterprise runs 7000 merino ewes with 25% mated to Merino rams using Todd Mullan’s Qualierup West Merinos and 75% to Suffolk or PD cross for prime lambs.
Ben explains, “We try to run a consistent stocking rate and use things like confinement feeding, pasture manipulation, pasture rejuvenation and genetics to assist us. Marketing is assisted with our good friend and stock agent Matt Lowe from Westcoast wool and livestock.”
The cropping program consists of a certain yearly percentage of pasture reseeding, incorporating forage cereals, clover, rye grasses and Raphno. Whilst their cash and feed crops are canola, barley, lupins, oats and a small portion of hay.
Ben says, “I’m looking forward to being a part of T90 to help grow our knowledge and to assist in taking our sheep enterprise to the next level.”
