John Pederson and his wife Catriona McLean run 110 rare Wiltshire Horn ewes and five rams on their Coolart property and know the provenance of all their sheep.

Their pasture fed lambs are self-weaning and they produce more flavoursome meat because they eat less protein and grow more slowly. Almost no artificial sprays or fertilises are used on the land.

John’s philosophy is to produce high quality lamb with minimal food miles, so he sends his animals to an abattoir in the northern Mornington Peninsula, then to the nearby Balnarring Butchers where the locals buy as much Coolart Lamb as he can supply.
