RP09-0014 (ET)

COMMENTS: This super Merino sire breaks all the rules of sheep breeding.  He is a heavy weighing ram, with a high fleece weight and low micron and is the most complete sire package that we have ever bred.

RP09-0014's wool is a bold crimping 64's type that is silky soft, well marked and beautifully nourished on an uncomplicated, yet productive skin.  He is a structurally sound ram, with great mobility and tremendous growth (weighing 100kg at 12mths and 151.5kg at 24 months).  RP09-0014 has great curve-bending potential as he is an industry trait leader for fleece weight, 7%DP, 7%, 10%SS and 14%SS indexes.  He was entered into the New England Sire Evaluation 2010 and the Bluechip Sire Evaluation, Temora.(see more below)
