Charles Mills (Uardry) Pty Ltd has added a new feature to the highly successful Sims Uardry stud. 2010 saw the launch of the Sims Uardry Poll Merino flock (Stud No. 1387).
With the growing demand for good Poll genetics throughout Australia, Uardry saw a strong future for the growth of Poll Merino rams within Australian flock enterprises.
The breeding direction of the new stud is clear; to produce the Sims Uardry type with no horns. The dual purpose characteristics of the Sims Uardry blood are the benchmark of the “Modern Merino”.
At the Uardry Foundation Sale in September 2010, the Sims Uardry Stud poll rams sold at a significant 100% premium to horned Merino Stud rams, selling 57 rams for an average of approx $2,240 versus the horned merinos selling for an average of $1,115.This good result confirms the market demand for the Sims Uardry poll.
