Brendon has judged Merinos at many country shows including Jerilderie, Longreach, Bendigo, Hay and Stawell, as well as Wagin Woolarama and Melbourne. The decision to move into White Dorpers was made due to changing economics and the world demand for protein. It was made at a time when there was much opposition to exotic breeds in the Western Division of NSW, and at a time when there were very few Dorper studs in Australia. In 2006 Brendon travelled to South Africa to see the Dorper running in conditions similar to the pastoral country of the Western Division of NSW, and to source genetics. In 2009 the decision was made to breed Dorpers as well as White Dorpers on Glen- Esk, due to the continuing success of both breeds in pastoral country. Today Dorpers are a significant source of income to many Western Division Graziers.
Brendon played an important role in the introduction of the Alternatives Breeds sale, now known as the Wentworth Dorper and White Dorper Breeders Group Auction, initially held at the Wentworth Show during the last weekend in August and now held in early October each year. He has judged Dorpers at the Bendigo Agricultural Show and the Bendigo Sheep Show. He has supported the Dubbo National Dorper Sale since 2005, offering teams each year and selling rams up to $9,500.
Brendon is married to Maureen, and has a son Jeff, and two daughters, Nicola and Peta.
