The Snuggery Merino stud, located 35 kilometres north of Kingston South East, was established on Collinsville bloodlines in 1941. The Snuggery Poll Merino stud was formed in 1985 with the purchase of a ram from Collinsville and 100 selected ewes from the stud Merino flock. The stud’s objective is to continue to produce superior medium-wool, large-framed sheep with excellent constitution and conformation. The bright white, rich, heavy cutting wool has won the Elders Supreme Clip of the Year in 2003 and was seven-time winner of the Elders Clip of the Sale from 1994 to 2005. Continued genetic development under the guidance of stud consultant Tom Padbury has included the use of sires and semen from Oakbank, Charinga, Banavie and Greenfields. The Snuggery’s annual ram sale is on Thursday, September 20, at 2.30pm. • Details: Chris or Liz England 08 8767 7232, 0410 538 232.
