Meet us, the farmers
We’re the Lee Family — Jessica, Matthew, and our kids, Evelyn, Sylvia & Jim.
​
We’re the ones behind Leebrooke Livestock. Farming’s in our blood, with six generations on both sides growing up on farms. Our logo says it all: family and growth. Our farm is run by us all, and the kids are right in there knee-deep in learning about ethical, sustainable farming while helping raise top-quality lamb and beef, paddock to plate, stud and commercial style.
​
The days can be long, the weather’s got a mind of its own, and working with kids in the yards? Let’s just say the gate debates are fierce and nobody wins. But hey, it’s our passion, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything!
Our Story
In 2016 we took on the family farm "Leebrooke" that had been in Matt's family for six generations. Having both come from farming backgrounds, we were ready to make our own impact by combining our existing knowledge of farming with new and current practices. Our vision was to build a flock of exceptional quality sheep, to run alongside our already established Angus cattle.
Born and raised on well-known Hillcreston Superfine Merino Stud near Bigga on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, we had the sheep experience to do it, but we needed something that could co-graze alongside our established Angus herd and were looking for something that suited our land and lifestyle.
With our Angus herd already performing, we made the decision to go with the self-replacing, haired, meat sheep Australian Whites, because they are hardy and well-suited to a range of conditions. They suited our brief of being a low maintenance breed without compromising quality. We were also mindful of the availability of shearers, with so many producers in our area looking for something they can run without having to have specific skills or experience. We established Leebrooke Livestock - and we’ve never looked back.
​
We have been captivated by the distinct difference in meat quality of Australian Whites, with it's intramuscular fat and low melting point. Now that we have established a consistent ewe base, we are focusing on our commercial fat lambs that yield high, have consistent carcasses over the hook and to gain recognition as the highest quality lamb meat on the market. We’re proud to sell our premium local lamb directly to you, ensuring full traceability from paddock to plate — fresh, ethical, and straight from our farm to your table.
