Assessor Comments
A great draft of classed in merino purple tag (4.5yo) proven breeders. The Eckert family are well renowned for their merino and first cross ewe breeding and these ewes are a testament to this. The Superior Wool Syndicate blood ewes are a strong medium to large frame, with good depth of body and plenty of length. These girls are not long off shears and are still going ahead, and will be ready to be mated from now on to the ram of your choice. All ewes are scanned every year, with drys sold. Please note that the same vendor has a line of 5.5yo ewes in this same sale.
