For 40 years we have had a performance base approach for our genetic selection. Our breeding objectives have never been traditional, and our methods are unique, all aimed at maximising genetic progress of our program. The Bundilla bloodline is now recognised as one of the leading maternal genetics within the Australian sheep industry, selling sires and semen to all states across Australia.

The merino continues to be the dominant breed in the Australian sheep industry although to continue this and…
As seasonal conditions are changing sheep breeders across eastern states of Australia are showing greater intent to turn off lambs earlier as a risk management tool.
