Six Hundred Acre Wood SRS Poll Angora Goats
Australia’s Only Organic Certified Mohair Genetics.
Breeding robust, high-performing Angora goats through science, ethical principles, and ecological stewardship.
Our Story
The Scientist Farmer
Dr. Gina Wood brings a level of scientific rigour rarely seen in the paddock. She holds a multidisciplinary PhD in Biostatistics, Lipidology, and Exercise Physiology, giving her a unique understanding of data analysis and biological metabolism. Currently finishing a second doctorate focused on a multi-centre clinical trial for complex physiological conditions, Gina applies these same strict research methodologies to her herd. She doesn't just farm; she conducts a continuous, data-driven trial to produce the ultimate low-input Angora Goat.
"I don’t guess. I measure."
Every animal in the Six Hundred Acre Wood herd is monitored, measured, and evaluated using objective, data-driven methods. We don’t rely on tradition or visual appraisal alone — we treat the herd as a continuous research cohort, improving resilience, productivity, and fibre quality year after year.
Our Values
Innovative, Evidence-Based, Eco-Aware
Commitment to ecological welfare: animals, humans, and the environment
Sustainable and profitable practices
Ethics, transparency, and adaptability
We believe that high-quality fibre and ethical farming go hand in hand.Every decision is guided by data, science, and the wellbeing of our animals and land.
Certified Organic (AS6000)Six Hundred Acre Wood is Australia’s only AS6000 Organic Certified Angora goat and mohair operation.
Our organic certification is more than a label — it’s a stress test for genetics. By eliminating chemical interventions, drenches, and shortcuts, we breed goats that are naturally resilient, productive, and sustainable.
Our Genetics
(SRS® Poll Angora Goats)
What SRS® Means for Goats
Building on Dr. Jim Watts’ pioneering SRS® research, we’ve adapted principles from merino sheep to the biology of Angora goats.
Skin morphology differs from sheep; visual appraisal alone is insufficient.
Combining measured phenotype and performance data ensures robust, high-quality genetics.
Our methodology balances welfare with commercial performance.
-
Soft, pliable skin indicating follicle density
Aligned, lustrous fibre with low vegetable matter
Polled genetics for safer handling
Robust constitution and rapid growth
Thrives on browse, not feedlots
The Organic Stress TestOur goats are tested by nature with reference to the AS6000 Organic and Biodynamic Products Standard.
We remove chemical crutches and prove genetics in the paddock.
Never drenched — naturally parasite-resistant
No prophylactic antibiotics — health comes from genetics
Untouched by hoof, face, or horn trimming
Proven resilience in the harsh WA Wheatbelt
The result: hardier, healthier goats that thrive naturally, produce premium mohair, and lower your inputs and labour requirements.
Lower input costs and labour requirements = higher return on effort
Reduced chemical dependency = higher resilience
Genetics suitable for Merino operations seeking diversification
Supported by ongoing research, including the Athol project
Why It Matters to Farmers
The Data Difference
We Don’t Guess. We Measure.
This data-driven approach ensures our goats aren’t just beautiful, they are robust, productive, and consistently high-performing.
"Every animal is a dataset."
Transparency in Genetics
Buyers receive full lifetime performance data
Benchmarking with other cohorts
Evidence-backed confidence in genetic performance
Dr. Gina Wood is a multi-disciplinary researcher. She combines deep expertise in biological data with practical organic farming to breed fit-for-purpose SRS® Poll Angora Goats. At Six Hundred Acre Wood, we move beyond visual appraisal to track and analyse performance traits with scientific precision:
Micron consistency — monitored using standard deviation (SD) and curvature
Fleece weight vs. micron correlation — selecting goats that deliver fine, fast-growing and dense mohair
Growth trajectory monitoring — from birth to maturity, ensuring rapid, healthy development
Biometric modelling — applied to every animal to guide breeding decisions
Ethical Farming:
The No-Till, No-Cull Model
Profit Without Slaughter
At Six Hundred Acre Wood, ethical farming and commercial viability go hand in hand. Our wethers are long-term high-quality fibre producers, delivering premium mohair for 8+ years without needing to be culled.
Lower input requirements — hardy, resilient animals thrive on natural browse
Sustainable and profitable — ideal for smallholders as well as regenerative graziers
Extended productive lifespan — maximising return on investment while respecting animal welfare
We prove that profitability doesn’t require sacrifice, it requires smart genetics, careful management, and respect for the animal.
-
We farm with the land, not against it. Every decision is guided by practices that build soil health, support biodiversity, and strengthen the ecosystem. Our approach ensures the farm thrives sustainably, improving the land rather than depleting it, while producing high-quality, organic mohair.
-
Our herd operates under a strict no-cull policy, valuing every animal we raise. By maximising each goat’s lifecycle value, we uphold our commitment to sustainability and ethical farming, proving that profitability and animal welfare can go hand in hand.
