National Herd Development
Victorian Winter Fair

Lachlan alongside his family own and operate Katandra Park Holsteins and Jerseys, located at Brunswick Junction, in the South West corner of Western Australia.  The herd consists of 50% Holsteins and 50% Jerseys, with the stud achieving its Holstein “Master Breeder” award in 2019.  Lachlan and his family regularly exhibit at their local shows in WA with great success over the years.

Lachlan has had the honour of judging multiple breeds in every state in Australia, which has included International Dairy Week, Royal Shows, State Shows, Youth Shows and On Farm Challenges.  Some of his 2023 appointments included the National Ayrshire Show at International Dairy Week, Gippsland Jersey Fair and the NSW State Holstein On Farm Challenge.

Lachlan has always held a strong passion for supporting and mentoring youth in the industry.  He continues to be actively involved in Western Australia’s Annual Youth Camp.  Lachlan had the privilege of over judging the Australian/New Zealand National Final for Young Judges and Paraders, held at the Perth Royal in 2019.

Lachlan was our Associate Judge at the 2015 Victorian Winter Fair and is honoured to be given the opportunity to be this year’s Lead Judge.
