Breeding Directions

At Maister's Swamp Merino Stud, skin technology is carefully balanced against other sheep characteristics including wool and frame. We achieve this with the assistance of Ron Rayner from Glanna Merino Stud, who has been our stud sheep classer for the past ten years. David is now taking the major role of the sheep classing decision making at the stud.

Maister's Swamp has a balanced, open approach to the fine or bold crimp debate, with both forms of crimp being developed in different families but on a productive skin type. An emphasis on a larger frame sheep size, with a deeper spring of rib, with wool characteristics of greater brightness, a deeper precise crimp, forming a distinct lock formation. With good length and great softness and nourishment.

Progeny from the last ten years are showing these new and improved traits. With all lambs being carefully pedigreed to both the sire and dam, which assists us to form the distinct wool and sheep family types. Which allows sheep and wool producers to select genetics from a stable but diverse stud base.
