New genetics performing for all
Petali Poll Merino Stud at Walcha has produced one of the leading sires in the recent National Merino Sire Evaluation program. Petali Poll 150697 appears in an elite group of sires in the AMSEA evaluation that feature in all four major index rankings, 150697 has also been selected as a “Link Sire” for the 2019 evaluations across Australia. Petali Principal Martin Oppenheimer said it was important to recognise the new genetics that were performing for breeders. “We sold 150697 at our 2017 on-property ram sale, as part of our policy to offer the best genetics we can for clients”, said Mr Oppenheimer. “We keep very few rams and use sires as ram weaners in our commercial flock matings and can therefore offer the best rams for sale. The genetics for the future are productive sheep with high quality fibre, and they must be easier to manage, with fly and worm resistance, plus more early growth, fat and especially muscle.” According to Mr Oppenheimer: “These sheep pack their own lunch and require less feed and treatments.”
