Ewe lambs in for shearing from our grazing hill country. Challenging years show management, nutrition & genetics at work, always lessons to be learnt. Ewe are down in nic, will need time to recover, they’ve done the job on these lambs Sitting at 23% of ann rainfall💧@GumHillPoll

More rams on the way in as we embark on our second week of the main ram shearing ✂️🧶⚖️
A great shearing team & crew, an opportunity to measure and scrutinise each ram individually and an all round enthusiastic atmosphere makes it one of our favourite weeks of the year

[James Lines @lines_james27]

Favourite week of the year. Shearing all the rams. Stud Sires kicking off this morning, and excitingly onto young sale rams (23drop) in coming days which will be cover scored and fleece weighed, available for sale later in year.

Merino tweeps, im trying to get an idea about current breeding & selection approaches.

Are u a stud or commercial breeder?

When do u class ur ewes?

When do u class ur rams?

Who does ur classing (professional classer, ur self, stud rep, wool rep, dont).
