SA Merino Sire Evaluation Trial
Sixteen Merino Sires from South Australia and interstate will have their male progeny compared for type, structure, wool production and carcase traits in the SA Merino Sire Evaluation trial. It is hoped the results of these trials will contribute to genetic improvements for the Merino industry.

Host sites run for a two year duration, with the previous site being Keyneton Station, Keyneton SA.
