Andrew Bouffler

Andrew is the Managing Director of Valera Pastoral Company, a mixed sheep/wheat family-controlled business that has maintained a traditional balance between cropping and livestock enterprises. He is also the Principal of the Trigger Vale Maternal Poll Merino and Terminal White Suffolk studs, which maximise genetic gain and client profitability by performance testing using Genomics, LAMBPLAN and MERINOSELECT genetic evaluation technologies.

Andrew has a Bachelor of Agricultural Economics from the University of New England and is a graduate of the Duchy College Challenges of Rural Leadership Course held in the United Kingdom in 2009. In 2010 he participated and completed the Australian Institute of Company Directors course.

Andrew received a Nuffield Scholarship which he completed in 2007, during this time he investigated how to fully utilise and rapidly improve the Australian maternal ewe flock (including Merinos) to ensure continuity of supply to Australia’s valuable meat and wool markets. This time of study and reflection about genetics, management and how sheep interact with their environment has greatly impacted his approach to, not only his own stud and commercial sheep flocks, but also his growing client base and the wider Australian sheep industry. The winds of change towards an easy care, multi-purpose Merino is sweeping across the Australian sheep industry and Andrew is considered by many as one of the most influential seed stock producers leading the charge.

Over the past 30 years, Andrew has been an active member of numerous industry boards and organisations including the Sheep Genetics Advisory Board, Rutherglen Sheep CRC Advisory group, AWI’s MLP advisory committee at the Merinolink site at Temora and is currently Chairman for the Superwhites Young Sire Evaluation Program.
