THE STORY OF HADDON RIG

Haddon Rig is a mixed farming property covering 60,000 acres of fertile land near the town of Warren, in the heart of Central Western New South Wales, comprising Haddon Rig, Braemar and Boomanulla. 

Haddon Rig's philosophy is to produce the highest quality agricultural products - merino rams; merino wool; cotton; beef cattle; and wheat.

 

Haddon Rig is privately owned by the Falkiner family, George B S Falkiner, his wife Sally, and their four daughters; Eleanor, Grace, Olivia and Florence who live on the property with a small close-knit staff. 

 

Haddon Rig has a well-earned reputation as one of the foremost Merino Studs in Australia.  Founded in 1882,  currently marketing 1000 top quality medium-wool rams for sale each year, Haddon Rig offers their best 2- year old rams at the annual National Sale held in Dubbo (Sale catalogue available); hoggetts by on-property auction each October (see 2-Tooth sale Catalogue), and through private selection from the stud at Warren, Sept - December.  Genetic material is available for sale and a catalogue is available on this site (see Semen Catalogue in Merino Stud Section).  

 
Tourism became a part of the Haddon Rig story from 1990 - 2006.  This has since been discontinued.

 

Employing talented and hard-working personnel, utilising best practice management and the latest in modern technology Haddon Rig exemplifies "un-subsidised" modern Australian agriculture in the 21st Century.
