Balmoral

The Merino Lifetime Productivity Project

Balmoral

The Balmoral Sire Evaluation Group commenced sire evaluation trials in 1998 with the Committee now including over 20 members including stud breeders, service providers and commercial producers. The group aims to evaluate and promote leading sires suited to fine wool production in Western Victoria by informing participants, their clients and interested woolgrowers about the events surrounding the trials. A regular newsletter is produced, along with attendance at regional sheep and wool shows by the Balmoral Sire Evaluation Group.

Balmoral is one of five Merino Lifetime Productivity Project (MLP)  sites that are evaluating lifetime productivity of Merino ewes from different genetic sources.

Location

Evaluations have been held on privately owned host properties around the Balmoral district progressing to a new property generally every two years. Host properties run Merino fine wool ewes with genetics suitable for the district’s environment.

Breeding Objective

The goal is to select sheep that are productive and well grown, with sound conformation and carrying heavy fine wool fleeces of good character, colour and nourishment suitable for the western Victorian environment.
