This will be Koonwarra Merino Stud’s fourth
sale at the new location, Little Range, 16kms
from Boorowa (NSW) on the Cunningar Road
towards Harden.
These rams were shorn on 8th April 2009,
and their fleece tests will be taken about
6 weeks before the sale. Each ram will have
individual fleece figures for micron, S.D., C.V.,
Spinning Fineness, Bodyweight, and Greasy
Fleece Weight percentage. These rams were
Gudair vaccinated as lambs out of approved
vaccinated ewes. These rams will be selected
by Stuart Hodgson, the Stud Classer, and
Charlie and Jono Merriman, the Stud Managers.
Koonwarra clients can come to the new home
of Koonwarra and know that there will be a
continuity of the Koonwarra type and direction
that Stuart Hodgson has been developing over
the years.
A Preview Day of these rams will be held
on Monday 14th September in conjunction
with Merrignee and Tara Park Merino Studs,
with Koonwarra and Merrignee, at Little Range,
open from 10am to 3pm and Tara Park open
from 12 noon to 5pm at Tara Park.
Individual details on each of the 60 rams will be available, on
the website, before the sale; however, not until after the fleece
tests are taken (about 6 weeks before the sale) and the rams catalogued.
Individual body weights will be available on the day of the sale.
