Gunallo Poll Merino and Merino stud is situated 8 Kms south of the Mallee Highway between Murrayville, Victoria and Pinaroo SA.
 
Gunallo breeds uncomplicated sheep that are early maturing, fertile with long stapled, crimpy white wools on the large frame that our sheep are noted for; also they have strong constitutions and are working towards a mules free sheep.
 
Extensive artificial insemination and some embryo transfer have been instrumental in achieving these goals as well as advice from our stud classer Bill Walker.
 
In 2011 Gunallo sold a record number of sale rams with rams going to SA, Vic, and NSW.
 
It was good to see once again Clients receiving top prices for their wether lambs, young ewes, and old ewes at Off-Shears sales around the country. Wool prices have also been very good and ourselves and clients receiving above 1000 cents greasy for their wool.
 
We are quite excited about this year’s young rams which are showing plenty of potential with more rams having elite free growing wools on large frames. Sires used for this year’s rams include; Leahcim 438, Mernowie ‘Escalator’ r-1137, Gun 62 (Maximus son), Lea 456, lea 203, Lea 533, plus other leading sires.
 
Gunallo will be displaying rams at Burra, Karoonda and Hamilton and selling at Hamilton, Adelaide, Classing Classic as well as annual On-property sale on Thursday 6th September 2012. Current wool tests will be available on all rams to be offered.
 
Gunallo is accredited brucellosis free and is MN3 status Sheep MAP.
