Shellal was founded in
1966 with ewes from leading studs of the time, Lindsbury, Marylebone,
Broughton and Malkay. All studs have since been dispersed.
It was decided to start
up a Poll Dorset Stud because, at the time, we found it difficult
to obtain good lines of Poll Dorset flock rams for our commercial
flock. It wasn't too many years later that the Stud grew and
prospered so well that it pushed the commercial flock out.
Since the early 1970s we
have run only stud sheep, therefore allowing our customers the
'Top of the Drop' flock rams each year.

You'll find us
located on the Penshurst
- Warrnambool Road in South Western Victoria, 7 kilometers south
of Hawkesdale, and 37 kilometers north of Warrnambool.
