Assessor Comments
Offering a quality draft of 700 fine wool, Merino wethers. Wethers present in principally 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. Assessed a week off shears and going out into good pasture it would be expected these sheep would show improvement and freshen in the coming week. 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. They are primed for considerable weight gain. Representing a terrific opportunity to acquire a quality line of proven performance sheep.
