Description:

Mortlock has been described as “a standout and a great animal for the future of the Australian sheep industry”. This comment from judge, Andrew Bouffler of Lockhart as he awarded Mortlock the prestigious title of 2009 Australian All-Purpose Merino Champion at the Australian Sheep and Wool show, Bendigo in July.

Mortlock really stamps the Sims type. He is a good big plain bodied ram with excellent lock structure and fibre alignment. His success on the show circuit included such titles as the 2009 Australian Champion Merino Hogget Ram at Hay, and 2009 Riverina Ram of the Year.

This outstanding ram created attention which was reflected when sold for $20,000 at the 2009 Uardry Foundation sale. Successful bidders were a syndicate comprising Duncan Farming, Ranfuley, New Zealand; Roger Matthews of Borambil Stud, Balldale, NSW; Rowly Paterson, Wirrinourt Pastoral Company, Willaura, Victoria; and J & M Kilpatrick, Rocklyn Stud, Great Western, Victoria.
