10.01.2022 MEMBER PROFILE Fairbank Stud Fairbank Southdowns started in 1922 you might say as a result of an accident. My father Vern, at the time a young teenager was kic...ked in the head by a horse and as a result had a plate inserted in his forehead. Advised not to play sport his father suggested a sheep stud. He himself was already a successful breeder of English Leicesters as was his father before him. Read more https://www.southdownaustralia.com.au/s/fairbank-southdowns
