On 30 April 2025 custodianship of 80 Inglis Lane that has been held by The Trease family since 1945 ~ has now passed to Merlewood Angus. Both Daniel and Anne Marie Barrow are thrilled to have become part of this land’s story.
“It is an honour and a privilege to be caretakers of this historic farm which original farmer Andrew Inglis settled in 1904. We look forward to making many more memories and contributing to the rich history of this farm with its deep roots.” shared stud principal Anne Marie Barrow.
With the acquisition of this 319 acres Merlewood Angus now owns 919 acres of fertile land in the heart of South Gippsland. Leasing a further 315 acres from neighbouring farmers Merlewood Angus operates across over 1,200 acres.
“We are excited to see Merlewood Angus growing. With our 10th annual bull sale next year in March of 2026 this purchase feels very timely and very significant. As more and more people reach out to secure Merlewood bred weaner heifers and steers this allows us to meet demand with supply. We purchased our first farm here in the Gippsland in 2007 and we cannot wait to see what our third decade on the land has in store for us. We would also like to say a huge thank you to our clients who continue to support us and allow Merlewood Angus to grow.” said stud principal Daniel Barrow.
