History & Services
Calga has been owned and managed by the Pye
family since 1932. Prior to 1932 it was owned by
Charlie Pye senior between 1911 and 1916. The Calga
West portion was bought back by F C Pye in 1932
and subsequent original Calga holdings were added
by R.A. Pye in 1969 and W.R. Pye in 1994. Further
holdings were added in 1997 and 1998.
Calga was traditionally
a wool growing property until more recent times
when the decline in the wool industry forced
a change to include a large dry land farming
operation, along with the replacement of our
Calga merino flock by Dohne sheep.
Today Calga Pty
Ltd crops 14,000 ha of dry land farming. Crops
grown include Wheat, Barley, Chickpea, Canola
and Sorghum.
