John Macarthur is the largest sheep rearer …

Years: 1801 - 1801
John Macarthur is the largest sheep rearer in the colony by 1801, although he is certainly not the only landowner to have experimented with the breeding of fine-wooled sheep.

As late as July 1800, there is no evidence of any 'prophetic word' from Macarthur about the future of Spanish wool: at that time he was considering selling his entire flock.
