Justin and Lorroi Kirkby, together with their sons Sam, Flynn and Jock, are the family behind Amarula Dorper and White Dorper Stud. Established in 2000, Amarula is now recognised as one of Australia’s leading Dorper ram-breeding operations. Based at Glenavon, near Gravesend, and at their new property, Sandhurst, at Quambone, they have developed a successful breeding program focused on fertility, carcase quality, structural soundness and commercially relevant genetics.

Alongside their commitment to breeding productive, resilient sheep, Justin and Lorroi are passionate about regenerative agriculture. They continually work to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and establish productive, diverse pastures and native grasslands across both properties. Tree planting, saltbush establishment, and multispecies pasture cropping are important tools for improving drought readiness and further enhancing soil health.

Their aim is to build a more resilient farming system that supports livestock performance, protects natural resources and leaves the land in better condition for future generations.
