Assessor Comments
Well bred line of March/April 2024 drop wethers with a lot of potential, to take on long term wool growers or shear and turn off into a lamb trade. Majority of these wethers are plain body and easy care type sheep that are of good frame and are carrying a very good quality fleece. Approx 20% poll, 80% horned. (normal wether horn that has been dehorned, very small % of heavier horn). This line of wethers are on an upward plain of nutrition and have gone into a fresh paddock awaiting delivery. Note this is one of 2 lots being a run out the gate. 2x 6 deck lots so there maybe a small variation in the assessment to delivery, all endeavours will be made to keep all lots as even as possible. These wethers had a fair of yard time and drafting out of other sheep prior to assessing in some pretty hot conditions, there will be a considerable weight gain to be made if given the right opportunity. Of wethers assessed only 2% weighed less than 25kg. Wool cut and micron are the flock average.
