In addition to our Sheepmaster stud flock, we run a commercial shedding flock, consisting of Sheepmaster X, Dorper and Australian White ewes, which are joined to Sheepmaster stud rams. The best of the ewe progeny is retained for replacement purposes with the remainder of the ewe progeny and the male progeny is sold as prime lambs. This is an important part of our operation, as it provides us with the opportunity to see the results of using Sheepmaster sires over other shedding breeds first hand!

Both our stud and commercial ewes are joined and lamb naturally: in the paddock. This is an important part of our breeding / management philosophy, as we believe our stud sheep should be able to thrive and reproduce under everyday commercial paddock conditions. Sheepmasters are easy to handle, have a ultra clean shedding silky skin, highly fertile, non-seasonal joiners. Our rams have sound confirmation and great feet. They have shown an excellent ability to quickly clean up any “woolly shedders” in our commercial herd. We do not shear, crutch, dip, foot pair or tail dock; there is simply no need. Keen to work Winton Park Sheepmaster rams are a highly productive, no-fuss addition to any self-replacing shedding flock.
