The FSF Merino Studs are run on the 17,664 hectares of country that make up “Peppinella” and “Wanganella” with additional resources utilized at “Boonoke” when and where necessary.

The Original Peppin Merinos Registered Merino Flock Number 83 3,900 Stud Breeding Ewes

Wanganella sheep are renowned for their ability to produce heavy cutting, long stapled, bright white, soft handling fleeces from large, fertile frames. Having been bred, for in excess of 140 years, to survive and prosper on the treeless, old man Riverina Plain, the constitution and conformation of the Wanganella sheep fits them to produce in most areas. The breeding program seeks to refine the established and proven qualities of the Wanganella sheep to produce a comprehensive Merino that will maximize producer returns through a balance of wool, frame and fertility traits.

The Original Poll Merinos Registered Poll Merino Flock Number 1 1,200 Stud Breeding Ewes

Traditionally the Poll Boonoke sheep have been big, plain bodied, long stapled, medium to bold medium woolled, early maturing sheep. In continuing the refinement of the Poll Boonokes the focus remains on production versatility to maximize grower returns from both carcass and wool quality and quantities from an inherently fertile and structurally sound Merino. Favoured in Queensland for many years, the demand for Poll Merinos is increasing in other areas as streamlined, dual purpose production is demanded by Merino breeders. [Back to top]
