The Bindawarra “ Type “ was evolved from a blend of
Banavie for frame & productivity & Merryville for quality & high
rainfall traits to produce fine wools with superior processing qualities suited
to all environments.
Over the last 30 years Bindawarra blood wethers
have maintained an outstanding record in wether trials at many sites in
Bindawarra selects for constitution / doing ability by rapid early growth in an Alpine environment. Easy care characteristics, such as resistance to fly strike and roundworms are emphasized, as is structural correctness and freedom from pigmentation.
Bindawarra has developed its own distinctive wool
type which now predominates --- long stapled, soft handling, deep crimping,
dense, bright / white wool. This is achieved by concentrating on slender
follicles, surrounded by high density of secondary to primary fibers (S/P
ratio), a planned strategy of visual appraisal backed by key objective wool and
skin measurement
The success of the Bindawarra Stud is underpinned
by the 47 years of dedication shown by our Stud Classer Murray Elliott, who has
worked with positive enthusiasm to improve our sheep through the generations of
stud principals.
