Well done to the Archer family. A great example of management and genetics working together. It’s what consistent results are built on.

A Tasmanian prime lamb producer has upped his lamb weaning rates by 20 per cent with the use of south-west Victorian genetics. Read more 👉 https://www.stockandland.com.au/story/9228441/

Want to see Cloven Hills genetics in action?

Check out our 1,250 grass-fed wethers - averaging 50kg liveweight and grown out under tough conditions.

It's this kind of commercial performance we’re aiming for every time we make breeding decisions.

Backed by data. Proven in the paddock.

20/02/2026

Every Cloven Hills ewe is classed and scored annually. Why?

Because structure matters, especially if you want sheep that rear twins year in, year out, under real-world conditions. Before selecting our next group of breeders, we assess:
- Structural soundness
- Long-term resilience
- Consistency in rearing performance

Then we match this data to their sires and dams to refine our breeding lines even further. It's not quick work, but it’s how we continue to lift the bar.

To everyone who joined us for our Summer Ram Sale on Tuesday - thank you.

It’s no secret how passionate we are about our breeding program. For years, we’ve invested in data, research and refinement to produce genetics that perform under pressure - offering clients flexibility across traits like growth, fertility, wool quality, eating quality and labour efficiency. We’re always looking to the future, with a focus on evolving market demands and the needs of our clients.

That’s why your support means so much.

It was a strange feeling preparing for a sale while some of our clients and colleagues were deep in recovery from one of the worst fires in recent memory. The devastation is still unfolding, and our thoughts remain with all those affected. We’re incredibly grateful to those who were still able to attend or bid online under such difficult circumstances.

A big thanks also to the teams at AuctionsPlus, Nutrien AG Solutions Casterton, and Webb & Woodiwiss Livestock Marketing for helping make the day run smoothly.

We do have a number of rams still available for private sale. If you’re looking to strengthen your ram team in 2026, please reach out to Kate directly, we’re more than happy to help.

Looking to reduce labour, shearing costs and stress? Our Baabarean Shedders are available now and on sale day – Tuesday 20 Jan – for $500/head.

These are our second-generation shedding rams (75% shedding genetics), from a purpose-built nucleus program focused on:
✔️ Full shedding
✔️ Black feet
✔️ Calm temperament
✔️ Fertility, growth and carcass performance
✔️ Resilience in high rainfall environments

We know shedders aren’t a silver bullet but when bred with purpose, they can deliver serious labour savings and commercial upside.
We don't believe the perfect sheep exists, we can always do better. It will take some time & refining of genetics, but we're proud of how this line is shaping up.

The shedders are perfect for small out blocks, or paddocks with no facilities, and hobby farmers, these rams are ideal if you’re looking to cut shearing costs and simplify your sheep work.

📅 Rams available from now & on sale day (Jan 20)
