History

The Australian Sheep Farms Company Limited was promoted at the end of 1924 by R H Caird, of the Australian Mercantile Land & Finance (AML&F) Company, to purchase three New South Wales properties: Dunlop, Toorale and Nocoleche, to which Ringorah was later added. The new company was floated in London and backed by the same Directors as the AML&F Company. The drought in 1927, along with further collapse in wool prices and dry seasons, reduced the company's profits and it went into voluntary liquidation in December 1937.
