South East Field Day:

Time- 10:30am

Location- Keith Showground

The Mulloorie Merino stud was founded on Orrie Cowie bloodlines while Mulloorie Poll Merino Stud was founded on Donara and Nyowee bloodlines. The purchase of a property at Tintinara in the Upper South East has enhanced Mulloorie’s breeding programs. The stud continues to use visual assessment along with additional measurement on ewes and rams to achieve low coefficient of variation and standard deviation with good comfort factors. Body structures, body weight and eye muscle measurements enhance the profitability of Mulloorie-blood sheep for clients requiring dual-purpose animals for today’s market. The success of the stud in this area was reflected in its performance at the Bendigo Sheep Show in 2010 where it won the Champion All Purpose Two-tooth Ram judged on wool and meat results. In 2007, the stud won the Fibre Meat Class at the Adelaide Royal Show, also judged on wool and meat tests for rams showing not more than two teeth. Mulloorie’s expo displays at Burra on Tuesday, March 20 and at Keith on Tuesday, July 24 will reflect its breeding programs. Mulloorie will conduct an on-property auction for the first time this year, offering 35 rams at Tintinara on Thursday, July 26 at 2.30pm. The annual on-property auction will be held at Brinkworth on Monday, September 24 at 1pm, and have 70 rams on offer. The stud will also offer five rams at the Adelaide Ram Sale on Friday, September 14. Mulloorie-blood sheep perform in all types of environments. Inspections welcome.
