The Woolaroo Ringmasters are essentially a fine/ superfine family
based on Merryville and daughter stud, Auchen Dhu. Auchen Dhu, now
dispersed, had the Australian Ram of the Year in 1995. The average
micron of our mature age Ringmaster ewes is between 17 and 18. We
use Merryville fine and superfine rams over the ewes to produce a
superfine sheep. Our aim with this family is to breed sheep as big
as possible and as fine as possible, keeping to a traditional wool.
Our Woolaroo Purples, averaging 18 to 19.5 microns, are based on a
Manderlay / Merryville infusion heavily culled to a fine wooled, large
framed, heavy cutting sheep with a soft supple skin. The sort of skin
that pushes out more wool. Our family has been developing these sheep
since 1979 when Dad and Granddad bought part of the Merryville infused
Manderlay Stud from John Williams at its dispersal. As a result The
Purples are a very stable family.
