GM Scott processes 3,500 lambs and 200 cattle daily. It produces its own products, beef, lamb, meal, by-products and skins, under the Noble Farm brand name.

Its beginnings were far humbler. Its vision was not. The same energy and enthusiasm that launched GM Scott still fuel its endeavours. GM Scott has exceeded its founder’s dreams a thousandfold. It has not stopped exceeding itself.

As the largest employer in Cootamundra with in excess of 200 employees paid each week the impact of GM Scott is immense to the Cootamundra Shire.
