Poll Merinos
White River
Poll Merino Stud
Our Poll Merino Stud was established in November 2006 with the transfer of 200 White River ewes and the purchase of semen from Kamora Park, Leahcim and Willemenup . In May 2007 White River purchased the complete Almaree Poll Merino stud breeding ewe base (50 years of poll only breeding) and RA570 was purchased from Ridgway Advance stud for $7,000 in September 2007. The Poll Stud was registered in December 2007.
The breeding aims in the Poll Merino stud are along the same principles as our Merino Stud.
