The Currey family has been breeding Dohne sheep for more than 12 years, with their lamb proving popular through their latest farm-to­-plate venture, the Bogewong Butcher Co shop. Frustrated by a lack of control over lamb prices and keen to add value to their mixed farming operation, Mark and Caitlin Currey pur­chased an existing butcher shop in Walgett in Janu­ary 2024.
