Assessor Comments
394 proven breeders, to be offered in 2 x 197 head lots, run out the gate. The ewes had their lambs weaned off the previous week, and raised over 110% merino lambs. The sheep have been in and out the yards frequently over the past 3-4 weeks with shearing / weaning / assessment, and have stood up well. The season has been kind with the sheep enjoying green feed since March. These ewes are large framed and heavy cutting sheep, ideal to mate up a terminal ram of your choosing. Assessed 106 out of 394 head. Top weight 102 kgs, bottom weight 66 kgs, averaging 77.6 kg at assessment.
