Contractors Who Know Sheep Work

Running a sheep operation in the Riverina means there's always something that needs doing, and finding sheep contractors who can keep up with the workload makes all the difference. At Dusty Rural Contracting, we provide reliable, hands-on sheep contracting services to producers across the Riverina, Southern NSW and the Monaro. We cover pregnancy scanning, lamb marking, mulesing, crutching, drenching, vaccinating, sheep jetting and EID recording, so you're not chasing multiple sheep contractors for different jobs throughout the season.


Our team comes from a genuine rural background, which means we understand how sheep need to move through the yards, how important it is to get through numbers efficiently and what it takes to do this work properly day in and day out. We work across properties of all sizes and bring the same level of care to every job. Call Dusty Rural Contracting today on 0438 789 964.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I look for when hiring a sheep contracting team?

    Experience with livestock handling and a genuine background in sheep work are the most important things to look for. A good contracting team should be able to cover multiple services, bring their own equipment and have a solid understanding of how sheep need to be handled through the yards. References from other producers in your region are always worth asking for.

  • What should I have ready before sheep contractors arrive?

    Having your mob gathered close to the yards before the team arrives saves a lot of time. Make sure yards are in working order, water is available for sheep and crew, and if EID recording is on the agenda, have your property identification details ready. A quick call ahead to confirm numbers and timing keeps everything running smoothly.

  • What's the difference between a sheep contractor and a regular farm labourer?

    A sheep contractor brings specialist knowledge, experience and equipment specific to livestock management work. They understand animal behaviour, correct handling techniques and how to carry out specific sheep husbandry tasks properly and efficiently. A general farm labourer may assist with broader property work but typically doesn't carry the same depth of knowledge or equipment for dedicated sheep work.
