Merinos
Unmatched Quality and Performance
Woodyarrup Merinos are renowned for their heavy-cutting, fast-growing, plain-bodied fine wool. These Merinos exhibit outstanding wool quality and perform exceptionally well in commercial paddocks, show rings, and across-flock evaluations throughout Australia.
Decades of Excellence
Our success is the result of decades of patient and well-informed selection, significant investment in pedigree and performance recording, and the intensive use of advanced breeding technologies, including artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET).
Building on Strong Foundations
Building on the productivity foundations of the old Woodyarrup Stud, we have selectively introduced the best outside genetics and employed corrective mating to enhance fleece productivity on much plainer, freely grown bodies. Successful genetic infusions have come from
- Charinga
- Gowandale
- Leachim
- Wallaloo Park
Exceptional Breeding Records
Our meticulous breeding records have allowed us to identify and intensively breed from several outstanding ewes. For instance, many of our top sires from the late 1990s and 2000s were sired by an exceptional Charinga-cross stud ewe. This ewe produced major Woodyarrup impact sires 7.10 and 5.90, each by different sires, and was the ET granddam of 8.66.
A Sire of Distinction
We discovered a remarkable Merino sire in 120175. His offspring are larger, faster-growing, heavier cutting, and finer than their peers. His progeny have consistently dominated our reserve selections and on-property auction sales. Sons of 120175, particularly 140149, are also breeding well. 140149 possesses his father’s outstanding length of body and wool cut, producing daughters with great spring of rib, superior doing ability, and heavier fleeces of finer wool.
Commitment to Quality
At Woodyarrup, our Merinos are a testament to our commitment to excellence in sheep breeding. We continuously strive to improve the genetic potential and performance of our flock, ensuring our Merinos remain at the forefront of the industry.
