Its Official: The Best Quality Milk In Australia Comes From Canowindra

19 November, 2025 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Dairy Farmers Milk Co-operative Chairman Trevor Middlebrook presented Liz and Kevin Sheehan with their trophy.

The Sheehan Family of Canowindra have been awarded the Dairy Farmers Milk Cooperative (DFMC) National winner of the Ian Stewart Milk Quality Awards for 2025.

They also take out the regional NSW milk quality category.

Kevin, Liz and family produced 2.8M li­tres on a partial mixed ration operation in Canowindra with 4.6% Butterfat, 3.5% Pro­tein, 151 SCC and 3500 TPC. This fantas­tic result is testament to their ongoing com­mitment to producing high quality product.

The award was presented by DFMC Chairman Trevor Middlebrook at the DFMC 2025 AGM held from 5-7 November in McLaren Vale, South Australia.

Dairy Farmers Milk Co-operative repre­sent over 200 members from more than 100 farms in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. To­gether they supply over 150 million litres of milk every year to Bega Dairy and Drinks in a long-term partnership which provides a quality product to Bega and security to members.

Congratulations to the Sheehan family on this incredible achievement!
