Assessor Comments
EXCELLENT LINE OF 3 & 4 YEAR OLD BREEDERS TO SUIT RESTOCKERS. THESE ARE TOP QUALITY EWES PURCHASED EX MONTROSE HILL MERINO STUD AND ARE GENUINE MEDIUM FRAMED FINE WOOL SHEEP. THESE WERE PURCHASED IN APRIL WITH THE VIEW TO ADD TO THE VENDORS FLOCK BUT AN EXCELLENT LAMBING WITH THEIR OWN EWES HAS LED TO THESE BEING RELUCTANTLY OFFERED FOR SALE. EWES HAVE BEEN ON AGISTMENT ON SELF SOWN CEREALS IN THE MALLEE AND PRESENT IN IDEAL CONDITION TO JOIN LATER IN SPRING. SHEEP OF THIS QUALITY ARE VERY HARD TO FIND, HAVING 78 YEARS OF BREEDING BEHIND THEM. EWES HAVE A GOOD START IN THE SKIN, SHOWING CLEAN WHITE WOOLS. GIVEN THE RESURGENCE IN WOOL PRICES, THESE GIVE BUYERS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ADD SOME REAL QUALITY TO THEIR FLOCK!! MONTROSE HILL WON MANY AWARDS FOR THEIR SHEEP OVER THE YEARS AND WERE RENOWNED FOR TOP QUALITY FINE AND ULTRAFINE GENETICS.
