Farm Fresh Eggs Laymour's Backyard Hy-Line Brown Pullets Farm Fresh Eggs 1/7 Maison de Laymour vers 1967 472, chemin Windsor VIGNOBLE Pat & Alex avec leur galopeur gagnant "Sprayette" Hippodrome de Randwick vers 1978 Salon de Hawkesbury 2004 Alex avec Champion Boer Buck et "Norebo Basil" (arrière) vainqueur de Buck Kid Plus de 6 et moins de 12 mois Grand Champion Sire César Vers 1961 Récompenses du club canin NSW RAS Vers 1960 En 1957, Alex Schembri et sa femme Pat ont déménagé de leur ville natale du bas Hawkesbury River, Brooklyn NSW, à Wentworthville lorsqu'ils ont été embauchés en tant qu'équipe mari et femme pour gérer une ferme avicole et un couvoir de poulets au 205 Old Prospect Road. Après une décennie en tant que gestionnaires de ferme prospères, ils ont décidé qu'ils aimeraient gérer leur propre ferme avicole et ont acheté 25 acres de terrain non développé sur le chemin Windsor à Vineyard NSW pour démarrer leur nouvelle entreprise. Voyageant chaque week-end de Wentworthville à leur nouvelle propriété, ils ont travaillé sans relâche à défricher des buissons et des arbres denses pour préparer leur nouveau site d'accueil. En 1965, ils ont déménagé à Vineyard avec leurs trois enfants pour s'installer dans leur toute nouvelle maison en brique. Peu de temps après s'être installés, ils ont commencé à planifier leur ferme avicole. Un par un, 13 grands poulaillers ont été construits. Alex et Pat ont lancé une nouvelle industrie et sont devenus les pionniers de l'élevage de « poulettes commencées » en élevant des poulets d'un jour jusqu'au point de ponte pour de grands aviculteurs commerciaux situés dans diverses régions de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. Tout en gérant activement la plus grande ferme de poulettes d'Australie, Alex et Pat possédaient et exploitaient également des chenils Pat-A-Lex. Pendant de nombreuses années, ils ont élevé et montré des bergers allemands et des corgis de race pure produisant des chiots champions de, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns, les taureaux champions Braecoola Caesar, Patalex Chieftain et la chienne championne Diosma Roxanne. Ils ont voyagé dans de nombreuses expositions canines et ont reçu des centaines de récompenses pour leurs chiens champions. Alex et Pat sont devenus bien connus et respectés pour leur travail continu dans l'industrie de la volaille et après 25 ans d'élevage de poulettes, ils ont décidé de convertir leur ferme avicole en cage en une ferme d'œufs en plein air. Ils ont retiré toutes les cages de leurs hangars permettant à leurs chooks de paître à l'air libre. Ce changement d'activité les a vus redevenir des pionniers en fournissant des œufs de gamme ouverte à un marché de niche dans les principaux magasins d'aliments naturels de la métropole de Sydney, y compris les magasins d'alimentation David Jones. Désireux d'élargir leur talent avec l'élevage d'animaux, Alex et Pat ont décidé de s'essayer à l'élevage et aux courses de chevaux pur-sang. Recrutant les services d'entraîneurs locaux de Hawkesbury, leurs juments ont toutes produit un ou deux gagnants sur de nombreuses pistes de galop provinciales de Sydney et NSW. Pour ajouter de la variété à leur ménagerie, les chèvres Boer ont ensuite attiré l'attention d'Alex et il a décidé de s'aventurer dans l'industrie de la viande de chèvre. Commerçant sous le nom de Norebo Farm, Alex et Pat ont réussi à élever et à montrer des chèvres Boer. Ils ont remporté le concours «Inaugural Hoof and Hook» du Sydney Royal Easter Show de 1999 et ont reçu le prix Grand Champion Boer Goat. Ils ont également remporté le prix Champion Buck au Hawkesbury Show 2004 et de nombreux prix lors d'autres compétitions régionales. Maintenant dans leur 69e année ensemble, Alex et Pat vont toujours bien après des décennies de travail acharné poursuivant toutes sortes d'activités d'élevage et d'agriculture. Ces jours-ci, ils ont réduit la taille de leur entreprise d'élevage de volailles et exploitent un magasin d'alimentation à Laymour Poultry Farm, offrant un service amical et utile aux propriétaires de volailles de basse-cour. Alex aime toujours se lancer dans l'élevage de différentes variétés de volailles, il possède une mine de connaissances et est extrêmement heureux de pouvoir aider les propriétaires de poulets à garder leurs poulets sains et à pondre des œufs. Alex et Pat ont trois enfants, sept petits-enfants et 13 arrière-petits-enfants, tous vivant dans le district de Hawkesbury. Les activités agricoles et les intérêts variés d'Alex et Pat travaillent toujours main dans la main et ont fait d'eux le duo à succès auquel de nombreuses personnes reviennent pour acheter des poulets, des chooks, de la nourriture, des graines et des fournitures pour oiseaux, sans parler des conseils d'experts d'Alex quand ils en ont besoin. FOOTNOTE Sadly, at the age of 90, Alex was diagnosed with bowel cancer but he battled on and continued working on his farm until three weeks before he succumbed to the horrible disease on 15th June 2020, one week after his 91st birthday. Alex was a young 91 year old, he loved his work and never missed a beat. Alex is sadly missed by his wife Pat, their family, friends and their loyal customers. Alex and Pat's daughter Susan together with her husband Craig, are keeping Laymour's Poultry and Produce Store open for business-as-usual 6 days a week Alex and Pat would have celebrated their Platinum Wedding Anniversary marking 70 years of marriage on 30th January, 2022 "LAYMOUR" TOUJOURS FORT APRÈS 50 ANS POULETTES D'UN JOUR & DÉBUTÉES À VENDRE VOLAILLE, ALIMENTS ET SEMENCES
