Under the stewardship of the John Watson, Wollogorang was managed as a  progressive and innovative operation, with a continual focus on pasture development and lifting productivity.  Little Wollogorang was aquired by the current owners some 35 years ago with the same forward thinking management adopted.

The country has enjoyed a regular history of fertilizer and lime application and bio-soil treatment.
