Assessor Comments
"Mount Challicum Blood & Bred" - small line of poll merino & merino wether lambs to take on and fatten or as woolgrowers. Shorn and presenting in strong store condition & on the improve lambs are a dual purpose proposition coming from a good starting weight & with all the hard work already done. Lambs on quality pastures that would also grow into productive high quality fine wool producers in this strong and positive wool market if you wish to go that way or finish for the trade. The Mount Challicum wool is highly regarded and highly sought in the premium end of the wool market. *Note there are several lambs with water stain on their flanks/shoulder in the line.
