Years of careful selection and detailed performance recording have proven their worth for Cashmore Oaklea, with the stud being one of the largest suppliers of maternal genetics in Australia.

Don Pegler started the Oaklea stud at Kongorong, SA, in 1982 while John and Brigitta Keiller established the Cashmore Park stud at Cashmore in south-west Victoria in 1990.

After many years of sharing genetics, the Pegler and Keiller families decided to join forces, founding the Cashmore Oaklea maternal composite stud.
