Merinos for Wool, Sheep and Meat $ales

Stud Sires

The 8 Collinsville sires purchased recently have grown into real sires - the type of Merinos that the West needs: big, correct, fertile, soft wools, and able to walk and thrive.
All Alma sires have to be large-framed, with comfort factor in excess of 98.5, and (in a normal season) be grown out on saltbush without supplementary feed.
