Assessor Comments
On offer is a top line of 3 year old Merino wethers that produce magnificent super fine white wools. Wethers range from 39-54kgs to avg 46.5kgs after a 5 hour curfew. Wethers are bred from a high performing and very profitable fine wool operation that produces outstanding bright white wool. Good strong wethers in good store condition that will perform well and be profitable going forward as either woolgrowers or a fattening option.
