Assessor Comments
525 Merino ewes, April/May 2021 drop, Ballatherie blood, August shorn, mulesed, 66.5kgs live weight. A great line on long deep bodied merino ewes, ideal to suit merino or terminal production. Purchased out of the top pens offered at Hillston sale in 2022 with a small portion vendor bred, from noted breeders, Ballatherie, Aspley and Allenvale, these ewes have grown true to breed and would make a great addition to any flock. Annually scanned and wet and dried, no passengers exist in the mob. Ewes are August shorn, cutting 65 mm of 19 micron wool at 6 months, an impressive feat considering all rearing a lamb and the tight season. Ewes have responded well to shearing and present in fresh joinable condition. A great opportunity to purchase quality middle aged ewes late in the spring. Please note delivery period Thursday October 23rd to Saturday October 25th.
