Assessor Comments
750 Merino wethers, Aug / Sept 2023 drop, to be offered as 2 equal lines of 375. Hopesplains bred, Glendonald blood, Gudair vaccinated & late December shorn. Wethers that are on the do, and given the right feed will stack on the weight and finish quickly, suitable for the 2 & 4 tooth premium export order. Hopesplains aim to breed sheep with little maintenance and capable of producing large quantities of fine bright superfine wool. Previous purchasers have always been very happy with the wool cut and wool quality. Great sheep for a stubble opportunity.
