History
This stud was founded in 1934 by J. & M. Russell when 50 ewes were selected from a flock of 3000 and mated with VALLEYFIELD, Epping, Tas, and WINTON, F. No. Tas. 1, rams. The MELROSE flock was commenced in 1880 by John Russell with Tasmanian sheep and, in 1905, 250 ewes were purchased from WOODHOUSE STATION, Vic. Prior to the selection of ewes to form the stud, rams used were from BELLE VUE (see Reference Flock) and the estate of W.H. Davidson, COLIBAN PARK, Vic. The partnership of J. & M. Russell was dissolved in October 1956, when the stud was divided between the partners. J. Russell carried on the MELROSE stud. In 1975, J. Russell transferred the stud to his two sons, J.B. & G.E. Russell. In 1980, the partnership of J.B. & G.E. Russell was dissolved and the stud was transferred to J.B. & J.B. Russell. In December 2001, the VSMSA approved the upgrade from flock to stud, of 37 ewes.
