Breeding medium to large framed, good doing, early maturing plain Poll Merinos
We select for long stapled, deep crimping elite fine/medium to medium wools. By doing this we can maintain wool cut on plain bodied sheep. We run heavy stocking rates and assess lambs weaned, wool cut and DSE per hectare to maximise productivity and profitability.

Our Breeding Philosophy
We’re producing sheep that can be used in a diverse range of climate conditions. Our rams and ewes are sold to clients throughout the state from the Wheatbelt to high rainfall areas. We like sheep that are well balanced and of even type.
We run a breeding flock where wethers and low grade ewe lambs are turned off straight from mum while running as many breeding units as possible per hectare. Early growth rates and body carcass shape are important to us as well as maintaining wool cut and quality.
Our stud sheep are ran like our commercials. They lamb down on pasture and are weaned onto stubbles before being finished for sale on feeders. This ensures that when our rams go out to our clients they know how to eat grass and stubbles. Our sheep are stress tested, genuine and commercially viable.
Our Stud
The stud is a combination of Shahs Poll and Seymour Park Poll. Shahs was purchased in its entirety in 2011 and incorporated into Seymour Park. Seymour Park is breeding towards a medium to large framed, good doing, early maturing plain poll Merino. We select for long stapled, deep crimping elite fine/medium to medium wools. By doing this we can maintain wool cut on plain bodied sheep and currently shear every 8 months (65-75mm). We run heavy stocking rates and assess lambs weaned, wool cut and DSE per hectare to maximise productivity and profitability.
