Assessor Comments
An excellent quality line of 1st x ewe lambs, in forward to fat condition, and going ahead on fresh spring pastures since shearing. These ewe lambs were born very late in 2025 and endured a pretty tough first four months of life, but have responded accordingly to more favourable conditions of late and have grown out well. No expense has been spared sourcing the genetics that go into these lambs. They are all out of excellent quality Ballatherie blood ewes purchased annually at the Hillston Breeders Sale by top Border Leicester rams. This lot represents the lead draft of the later drop of 2025 ewe lambs and are ready for joining. There are another 255 of the second draft of these ewe lambs also in this sale.
