In the vast, sun-drenched landscapes of rural Australia, there are countless stories of people who have dedicated their lives to the land and its animals. One such story is that of Caroline Owens, a remarkable woman who spent over six decades working tirelessly to improve the welfare of sheep.

Caroline's passion for sheep began at an early age. She grew up on a farm in Victoria, where she developed a deep love and respect for these gentle creatures. As a young woman, she witnessed firsthand the harsh realities faced by sheep farmers, and she resolved to make a difference.

A Life of Service

In 1954, Caroline co-founded the Victorian Sheep and Lamb Producers Association (VSLPA),which later became Sheep Producers Australia. Through this organization, she worked tirelessly to promote the interests of sheep farmers and improve the welfare of sheep.

Caroline's work had a profound impact on the sheep industry. She was instrumental in establishing the National Sheep Health Monitoring Program, which provides vital data on the health and welfare of sheep flocks. She also played a key role in developing the Australian Sheep Industry Blueprint, a landmark document that set out a vision for the future of the industry.

Caroline's commitment to sheep welfare extended beyond her work with industry organizations. She was also a passionate advocate for the humane treatment of sheep in all aspects of farming, from breeding and grazing to transport and slaughter.

A Legacy of Compassion

Caroline Owens' dedication to sheep welfare was recognized both nationally and internationally. She was awarded the Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 1988 for her services to the sheep industry and animal welfare.

After a lifetime of service, Caroline passed away peacefully in 2018 at the age of 90. Her legacy continues to inspire farmers, animal welfare advocates, and all those who believe in the importance of treating animals with compassion and respect.

Caroline Owens was a true pioneer in the field of animal welfare. Her tireless efforts made a lasting impact on the lives of countless sheep, and her legacy will continue to shape the sheep industry for generations to come.

Caroline's story is a reminder that even one person can make a difference. With passion, perseverance, and a deep commitment to ng what is right, we can all contribute to a more just and compassionate world for animals.
