Established in 1864, Uardry is one of Australia’s leading merino parent studs and is recognised throughout the world. The sheep were skilfully bred to suit the environment and are known for their hardy constitution and heavy cutting medium wool.
Generations of breeding true to type has increased the genetic stability of the Uardry merino, producing a prepotent bloodline and consistent results. Over 250 studs have used the Uardry bloodline.
One of Uardry’s most famous rams, Uardry 0.1, was immortalised on the Australian Shilling coin from 1938 to 1966, and featured again on the 50 cent coin in 1991.
