Learn more about SRS Wool.
Aloeburn comprises of 8,000 acres, of which 5,000 acres is rising red country running down to heavy black soil (Trefoil) which has all been sown down to clover and lucerne.  The remaining 3,000 acres is dry lake country which is unimproved, where sheep are run during the summer.  Our annual rainfall is 17/18 inches.
Sheep were originally purchased from S.A. in 1985.
Fertility from this base was extremely high - 100% plus depending on the year and quality of feed.
Dr Jim Watts has been classing Aloeburn sheep since 1987, with the aim of putting S.R.S. wool on a big-framed sheep with carcass traits that suit the lamb market.  We have been successful in achieving this to date.

In 2005, we sold 1,006 shorn wether lambs, averaging $90.56/head, which included $10.54 of 19.9 micron wool. 

In 2006, we sold 1,040 shorn wether lambs, averaging $99.82/head, which included three kilos of 19.4 micron wool. 

In 2007 we sold 758 shorn wether lambs averaging $98.57 which included 3.1kg of 19.5 micron wool

The above lambs were all sold over the hooks to Castricum Bros in Victoria.  If, however, we were selling to the store market, then they would be very suitable for the lot feeder and would command top dollar.
Our wool average for the last two years has been 21.3 and 21.2 micron, which includes all our cull ewes and does not include lambs wool.
Our lambing percentage for our autumn lambing is between 90% and 100%, depending on the seasonal conditions, and 120% for the spring.
All our sheep are polled with extremely good feet and frames.
All our rams are micron-tested just prior to selling to give the most accurate micron test as possible, and they are brucellosis accredited and vaccinated for OJD.
