"Roselea Merino Stud" Ram Sale - 26th November

ROSELEA STUD HISTORY

Roselea Merino Stud was founded in 1936 by T.A.Hacker on Bundemar and Haddon Rig bloodlines. The sheep produced were well nourished 64S quality medium wools. Through the 1950’s and 60’s only Haddon Rig and Uardry sires were used. Pooginook blood was added in the early 80’s. The Roselea Poll Stud was established in 1957 on Success and Reno blood. Some Poll Boonoke and Eudora sires were added in the 1980’s. In the early 90’s Peter Hacker became Roselea Studmaster. Since then Billandri and Willemenup blood has been added to the polls and more Haddon Rig and Uardry to the Merinos. Over recent years size and body weight of the sheep has been given higher priority and a greater emphasis has been placed on softness of the wool . These measures have resulted in a lowering of the micron by nearly 2 microns over the past 20 years without the loss of fleece weight.
