About

Aims

Our aim is to breed a self replacing prime lamb flock which is easy to care for and returns the maximum dollars per hectare.

This is being achieved by having a high fertility flock which produces fast growing lambs that are eagerly sought after for future breeders (surplus young ewes for commercial prime lamb flocks, rams and cast for age ewes) and wether lambs that have superior meat and skin qualities making them suitable for slaughter at weaning or for growing out to export weights.

Future

We will continue to embrace new technology and ideas as they become available and will monitor new market trends as they evolve. We have a ram in the genomics program that is been carried out at the Falkiner research station in NSW.

This program is the largest ever carried out in the world and it will identify the gene markers for all of the major traits in sheep. It is not far off when we will be doing DNA tests on all our sheep to determine the major genes that they carry.
