We believe that the quality of the ewe flock and their environment are the foundation of good breeding.

We select rams and ewes to maintain the style of Wiltshire sheep we prefer, ewes with good conformation and productivity to produce multiple lambs that have good growth.

Our flock is a mixture of both horned and polled ewes, with 85% mated to polled rams and the reminder to horned rams. We run purebred Wiltshire sheep staying very close to the Wiltshire Horn for its shedding and fertility.

An interesting fact is the polling gene is often dominant so when horned ewes are mated to a polled ram, they will have mostly polled lambs. However there are two polled genes in play, so horns can appear in a polled flock.

We have sourced genetics with rams from Eaglenook (WA) with NZ and Wonoka (SA) genetics and Neribri (WA) and Byarlea (SA) rams.

Our Wiltshire Horn stud (ASSBA Flock # 284) started with registered stock from Calart (WA) and Byarlea (SA) and have since introduced a ram from Nardie stud (WA).

Our ewes are run in commercial conditions, with access to clean paddocks and clean water.

We also put effort into pasture improvement, cutting our own meadow hay and planting trees to provide shade and shelter for the ewes’ year round needs”.

We aim to produce early maturing lambs with excellently muscled carcases and good shedding ability. The ewes and lambs are continually assessed throughout the year.
