MEET "JACK"

Every now and then a new lamb catches your eye and you see something special. "Jack" was such a lamb when born 4th August. Since then he has out-grown his mates in the paddock to be over 25kgs heavier than average (for that group) and 15 kgs above the the next heaviest lamb. Spot checks on his weights have recorded him at weight gains of close to 780gms/day.

We will be keeping an eye on this young ram that has performed exceptionally well under paddock conditions. He has tremendous length, bone and muscle along with great style and type and is very correct. He is sired by Leahcim LAM 006/01

SYDNEY ROYAL
The ongoing drought made it difficult for us to prepare sheep for the early shows. Despite not taking sheep to Sydney Royal, we had indirect success with 2 sons of Pendarra 1046/00 winning the pair of rams class with one of these awarded Reserve Champion Ram Sydney Royal 2003. This ram was bred and exibited by Brian and Rhonda Fischer, "Ashmore" stud. As a selection for the National Flock Improvement Program, Pendarra 1046/00 was used successfully used in a number of studs and many of his progeny were either retained in stud or headed the list of rams available for sale on property.

DUBBO 2003

Managed to put together a team for Dubbo despite the drought. Had a successful show and included in this team was Pendarra 2148/02 who won the young ram class and Pendarra 1902/02 who was placed 4th in a large shorn class. Both rams will be retained in stud.
