The vision for us is making our clients more productive and profitable
2010 Success
Judges Comments: Judge Will Roberts comments about Supreme 1499:This is the Sire that the merino industry desperately needs, but is severely lacking. He is a high impact ram that is extreme in his attributes. If you stand back and look at the ram he’s huge, with tremendous depth and width all supported on a big boned carcase. He carries a deep flowing flank and neck of loose productive skin, growing wool with that extra bit of staple length. Extremely well covered and very good underneath.
Weealla 1499 is truly a high impact sire that the merino industry needs right at the moment.
At the Dubbo National Sheep Show Weealla Merinos & Poll Merinos won the 2010 Australian Supreme Merino Ram.
