Heavy Future Breeders x 185 Border x Merino Ewe Lambs - 53 KG AVE LW

These are top quality, well-bred Border Leicester x Merino ewe lambs. Their
maturity, size & weight should allow them to be mated successfully in January
or February. The sires have all come from Deepwater stud, Binnum and are all
Super Borders, as well as being twins or triplets themselves. Our selection has
been focused towards rams with high fertility, low birth weight, high weaning
weight, while still retaining adequate fat cover on their progeny. The dams are
predominantly Lines blood, fertile, plain deep-bodied ewes.

The ewe lambs were dropped between 13/4/18 to 25/5/18. These lambs have
had two vaccinations with Glanvac 6 + B12, four to six weeks apart, and also
had an Eryvac at marking. They were lightly mulesed, with pain relief, at
marking. They have been treated with Gudair between 12 – 15 weeks of age.
All have been drenched with Triguard from mid-July to mid-August, depending
on treatment of individual mobs. Some have had a second drench in mid-
August, when all lambs were weaned.

The liveweight range of the 175 offered is from 43.5 kg to 62 kg, with the
average being 52.8 kg when weighed on 14/11/18.

These ewe lambs were shorn on 30/10/2018. They were backlined with either
avenge or extinosad, & drenched with triguard, at this time. They have been
grazing on strong dryland lucerne pastures, some of which have been over-
sown with barley to produce high quality, balanced feed. They have had access
to grain through a lick feeder until the end of August, with paddock feed only
since then.
