Tarampa
Downs was established in 1985 with the purchase of 2 purebred cows
with heifer calves at foot and in calf. From there we went on to purchase
a French pure bred bull Sundowner SRFW036 who we affectionately called
Charlie. This bull was by ELTORO out of Cheston Hannah. |
| Our 2
sons Tony and Paul were very keen on the showing side of things and
had many enjoyable teenage years showing and socialising. Tony, with
his wife Rachel, has gone on to establish their own stud while Paul
still enjoys the socialising side of things.
Tarampa Downs has a home farm of 70 acres and use
a further 100 acres in the area. It is located in the Lockyer Valley
in the middle of a rich small cropping community, approximately
halfway between the cities of Ipswich and Toowoomba in sunny Queensland
Australia.
