Assessor Comments
Marapana Pastoral, Warrock VIC is offering 2,250 WS / PD x Merino lambs to be sold on a run out the gate basis in 3 x 750 lots. Sired by White Suffolk & Poll Dorset rams and out of Anderson blood Merino ewes. July/August '25 drop, unshorn, weaned, crutched & grain trained x7 times prior to weaning. These lambs are bred to perform, with a heavy focus on high growth, eye muscle and fat, as well as conformation. These lambs would usually be retained for feed lotting but due to limited capacity, they are on the market. The vendor’s pure Merino wether lambs bred out of the Anderson ewes have achieved export weights. Buyers should bid confidently knowing the WS / PD cross will achieve export weights with ease. Lambs will be check weighed at delivery. Vendors will load a neat b-double to fit comfortably depending on distance.
