SheepMaster
In November 2022, Orrie Cowie purchased Lot 1 at the National Elders SheepMaster Ram Sale, Elleker, WA for $110,000. We also purchased 4 special stud sires and 300 SheepMaster ewe lambs to form an excellent foundation for our SheepMaster Stud.
Why did we go this way? With the devaluing of the downs wool from terminal sire breeds of White suffolk, Suffolk and Poll Dorset and the cost of & lack of shearers we have been looking at shedding sheep breeds for a while. We have chosen the SheepMaster, for their excellent shedding ability, their placid temperament, grazing habits and most importantly, muscling and early fertility. ........
No shearing, no tailing and no flies.
