New stud ram arrives

Our new Stud ram has arrived from NSW.

Anvil Blue 727 is a quality A1 registered ram bred by Michael and Cathy Kimmorley of the well known and respected Anvil Stud. 
We thank Cathy and Michael for allowing us to have such a quality ram.


Combining superior genetics from Anvil stud with the high quality of our Eureka ewes, we are hoping for big things from our lambs this year.



After 17 hours travel (there was plenty of time for chatting) we decided to give Anvil blue 727 a nick name -'Boeing Blue' (because of the 'Boeing 727 jet' who's excellence, versatility and reliability made it the best selling airliner in the world for the first 30 years of jet transport).






Boeing Blue has a lovely calm nature that made it easy for him to deal with such a long trip, even the inner city Brisbane traffic didn't worry him.
We are hoping he passes this temperament onto his lambs.





With such a relaxed nature and all you can eat lucerne in the sheep crate on the ute Boeing Blue was happy to stay in cozy comfort (below)


He's off, finally!


Looking for the ewes
