Assessor Comments
This is a line of 542 vendor bred May shorn merino wether lambs. This is a good line of lambs that are ideal to grow out and fatten as wool growers or grow out for export meat markets. The breeding objectives at Pretty Tower are to grow easy care medium-large framed sheep capable of cutting large quantities of wool. The vendor runs approximately 15,000 sheep in a self replacing merino operation, and these sheep would normally have been kept and grown out.
