Bellevue

Located near Millmerran on the western Darling Downs, Bellevue is a mixed agriculture enterprise owned by lifelong farmers David and Robbie Curtis. Traditionally, Bellevue grazed Merino wethers alongside summer and winter cropping rotations. Years of drought and poor wool returns took their toll though, and in 2005, the decision was made to sell the last of the Merinos.

Convinced that there was still a future in sheep, David and Robbie got started with Dorpers following the recommendation of a sheep buyer for a large export meatworks. In 2007 they jumped at the opportunity to form a joint venture with two highly respected Namibian breeders and now market their unique Namibian gene pool under the Bellevue prefix. The Curtises have a strong commitment to sustainable agriculture and are striving to produce a line of consistent, top-quality Dorpers.
