The story of Taylors Run begins in 1839, when Scottish immigrant William Tydd Taylor and his wife Margaretta Lucy settled on the New England Tablelands, and planted humble beginnings - just 1,000 sheep - in a rugged, sweeping landscape.

Since then, for more than 185 years, our family has remained rooted in these hills, evolving into one of the world’s most respected growers of Ultrafine Merino - yet never losing sight of our original pledge: to care for country, family, heritage and future in equal measure.

Now, with over 22,000 Merino sheep across 6 Taylor family farms, grazing the rich pastures of our tablelands, every fleece, every tree, every acre speaks of respect — for land, climate, and coming generations.

Today Taylors Run is more than a farm — it’s a living ecosystem where wool, cattle, and trees coexist in harmony.

Our Ultrafine Merino flocks graze among sheltering woodlands planted to regenerate soil, protect wildlife, and retain water.

Each year we measure our progress through Natural Capital Accounting - tracking soil carbon, biodiversity, and vegetation health to ensure we are truly giving back more than we take.

With quiet conviction - not just producing wool, timber or beef - but regenerating land, preserving bloodlines and nurturing biodiversity.
