140149 is truly a ‘freak’ Merino sire – a 120175 son out of a top ‘Wool Productive’ ewe, whose daughters are recognisable for their outstanding body growth rates, length of body, condition score and barrel, and who cut huge fleece weights of deeply crimped, bright white fine wool, with enormous staple length. He is of a Frame Productive joining type.
