Since we launched our Poll Stud in 2016, we’ve been blown away by the support of our existing and new clients and by their feedback about our rams and genetics.
There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing our clients achieving consistently strong results with their HR genetics.
It's also been fantastic to see the results of our continued investment in our Stud. DNA testing, our large ET and AI program, strategic sire purchases and a focus on data-backed decision making is really helping us fast-track our genetic vision and continue to meet the demands of the future industry.
This year, we have a superb selection of rams available for purchase, including:
200 Polls: Our Poll rams are known for their exceptional wool quality and robust frame. Bred for their resilience and adaptability, these rams offer excellent genetic traits to enhance your flock's productivity and wool yield. Whether you're looking to improve fleece weight or fibre diameter, our Polls are an excellent choice.
100 Merinos: Our Merino rams are bred for their fine, high-quality wool and strong build. These rams are ideal for farmers focused on producing premium wool, known for its softness, strength, and lustre. The Merinos at Haddon Rig are carefully selected for their superior genetic qualities, ensuring that they will contribute significantly to the success of your breeding program.
The catalogue, which will provide detailed information on all rams available for sale, will be available in July.
Our 2024 sale catalogue will be available shortly.
