Assessor Comments
Offering a quality draft of 380 fine wool, Merino wethers (of total of 760, run out the gate). Wethers present in principally forward 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 one the wettest winters in the area in memory, 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. With vendor offering a total of 760 one mark, 4yo, vendor bred Merino wethers this sale, it represents a terrific opportunity to acquire a quality line of proven performance sheep (2 lots x 380 run out the gate).
