Merino Flock Number:4783
Poll Flock Number: 1471 Welcome to the Kerrilyn Merino & Poll Merino Stud.
Kerrilyn Merino & Poll Merino Stud is situated in Dunluce in North Central Victoria. It is 15 km from Dunolly, 25 Kilometres from Maryborough and 31 kms from Avoca. It is central to both Bendigo and Ballarat. Our aim is to breed big framed, fertile sheep with as much quality wool as possible. We are predominately a Medium wool Stud with microns ranging between 16.5 to 21.5. We are doing this by using top A.I. sires and testing and ranking all rams for wool and body traits. We also benchmark our quality and beliefs by showing at the Australian Sheep & Wool Show, Hamilton Sheep Vention, Hay Sheep Show, The Ballarat Sheep Show, Natte Yallock Wool Show, the Loddon Valley Field Day and Marnoo Victorian State Merino Field Day.

2024 Update
It’s great when your sheep breeding program works out. Last year’s Loddon Valley Field Day Book featured our Grand Champion medium ewe following in their grand dam’s footsteps, who was the Grand Champion Strong Wool ewe at Bendigo in 2018. Both ewes were Reserve Champions as two tooths and then went on to be Grand Champions the next show season. We have been pedigreeing our stud sheep for 20 plus years and have used a number of rams, either through A.I. or rams purchased, who are Australian Champion Rams or closely related, both Poll and Horned. It’s no surprise these genetics appear in our best progeny (both measured and visual traits), as these sires must be large, structurally correct sheep with quality wool to be given these awards. Both our top 2023 show ewes now have the next generation up and going so looking forward to seeing their development in 2024. Kerrilyn welcomes you to our display at Serpentine and hope you have a great day on March 1st 2024 |
