One of the best rams I’ve seen this year. Unreal shape and structure, on a ram with positive carcass, growth, and that next level quality wool is just unreal.
Just couldn’t find a fault on him.
Well done Dave and Ian for breeding a ram like that. 👏🏻
HP210273 an absolute Meat Machine!
A perfect structure Ram that provides everything that modern markets want! More Lambs, Fast Growing Lambs, Better Quality Lambs!
HP230481
Another Perfect Structure HP Ram that brings together nice white wool on a very soft wrinkle free skin + excellent growth and carcass traits.
All together in a ram that provides structural perfection.
Trying to breed correct animals instead of just figures…
DNA results back for the 2023 drop lambs.
Identify the multiple animals have become so important to understand the performance of each individual.

Scanning 2024
2668 ewes mated
4404 foetus available
96% conception
165% preg rate
132 ewes empty
135 ewes with triplets (over 5%).
SC 2.5 to 3.5
After a terrible season with very poor stubbles and pastures the Resilience of our ewes to maintain performance is just unreal!
Half of the AI ewes, when good structure Ewes are mated to perfect structure Rams the outcome should be positive.
This 250 ewes will be mated to 210273,211050 and 220070.
We are happy with our ewes, very even from the top AI ewes to the old flock ewes! #hpgenetics
Lupins harvest in Uruguay.
We introduced this crop to Uruguay in 2015 and since then have slowly taking its place in the intensive rotation of Uruguay agriculture.
In this case swathed to achieve even maturity and avoid harvest loses. Yields over 2 ton per ha. Excellent job! 👏🏻
