Fluff Fur & Feathers

About Us!

The question is where to start. We are dairy farmers by trade breeding Stud Holstein Fresian and Jersey Cattle and more recently Highland Cattle. 

In our spare time we enjoy breeding and showing cattle, poultry and waterfowl and the kids like to put in their sewing or painting too sometimes. We are fortunate enough to have four wonderful children comprising of three daughters and a son.

We have always shown our dairy cattle over the years at various agricultural & horticultural shows. Over the past few years we started to get more serious about exhibition poultry when we looked at purchasing a Light Sussex Rooster for our children and have never looked back. We don't profess to know everything about poultry, showing or any animals of any kind, and are far from the thought that our animals are the best their respective breed can be. But in saying that we will continue to breed as close to the breed standards as possible and bring in new stock when needed and have great fun trying to achieve the perfect animal. (if there is such a thing!).

Information about the various animals and their breeds comes from various sources including the breed society in question or for poultry we used Australian Poultry Standards Book (First Edition) grab your self a copy and use it as a check list against your birds.

Our children all have their own cows, poultry and waterfowl breeds so they get to enjoy showing as much as we do and learn the importantce of showmanship and that winning isn't everything, which is all a part of life; this is an important part of the workability of a family hobby. Wouldn't be much fun if it wasn't fun!

We do not show with the prospect of winning. We show because we enjoy the past time. If we cover our costs we are lucky, if we don't bad luck and if we come out in front it's a bonus.

We hope you enjoy the site as much as we have enjoyed putting it together and if you would like anything added please email us.

This site is child friendly and contains no information or content whatsoever that would be harmful for children to look at.

Cheers!
