Assessor Comments
Offering a quality draft of 440 fine wool, Merino wethers. Wethers present in principally forward store condition and are genuine, classed in wool cutters that produce high class, fine Merino wool. They are predominantly medium frame with approx 30% smaller frame. Having just come through a wet winter, these wethers have come out of the wool exceptionally well and continue to do. It is also worth noting that only rams from notable studs have been introduced onto this property, with animal health paramount in this operation. Sheep are free from any health issues. Bred from a high performing and very profitable fine wool operation they are an ideal article to take on with proven productivity in almost all conditions. Representing a terrific opportunity to acquire a quality line of proven performance sheep.
