The Research Station later disposed of most of its sheep and acquired about 120 breeding cattle in order to study the problems associated with cattle feeding in a district with a short winter season.
A research centre was also established at Mullewa for areas of decreased rainfall, but operations ceased due to inadequate soil types, logistical difficulties and budget restrictions.
The Chapman Research Station at Nabawa was sold by public auction and bought on the 1st April 1995 by the Vlahov family which joins their farming properties at Dindiloa.
