MACQUARIE DOHNE STUD

The Macquarie Dohne Stud was instrumental in introducing The Dohne breed into Australia and establishing the Breed Association and the breeding objectives for the Dohne in Australia . Macquarie Dohne Stud has the largest number of registered stud ewes in Australia and has the objective of remaining one of the most influential Dohne studs in Australia . HISTORY

The Dohne is a

dual purpose breed developed by the South African Department of Agriculture in the late 1930’s using Australian Peppin type Merino ewes and German Mutton Merino Sires.MD137021 crop

The progeny were interbred and selected for high fertility, rapid lamb growth rates and fine wool under commercial conditions. The Dohne today is a well-balanced dual-purpose breed that allows the commercial producer to market both a quality trade and heavy weight slaughter lamb and fine-medium wool.
