Assessor Comments
These 217 Merino ewes from the SWM stable have been a standout in performance. Scanning in lamb at 130% to a terminal sire—an absolute testament to their quality. Grazing stubbles and native pastures, they have delivered in both growth and constitution especially given their season. Currently averaging an impressive 55.5 kilos after an 18 hour curfew, they combine exceptional wool traits with rapid growth. These ewes are a top-tier investment, demonstrating both fertility and growth, setting a benchmark for any breeder focused on premium wool production and prime lamb yields.
