Cashmere Stud was started in 2002 with the purchase of 40 females out of the Katandra commercial herd. These cows were then D1'd and some still remain in the herd today. Since then, females have been purchased from a number of different notable studs including Ivanhoe, Minlacowie, Durack, Billabong and Rondel. The stud now has around 70 females being joined, both through AI and naturally.
