History
This stud was founded in February 1967 by the Esperance Land and Development Co., by the purchase of 5 rams and 190 ewes from MOORNA FNo1343. In April 1989, the stud became wholly owned by National Mutual Rural Enterprises, formerly a partner in Esperance Land and Development Co., trading as Esperance Rural Properties since October 1991. Rams from this stud are bred to service the Company's commercial ewe flock, which has been closed to outside introductions since 1968. Replacement ewes, bred from within the flock, have been professionally classed by the same classer since 1974. During 1989, the decision was taken to expand the size of the ram breeding programme, aiming to produce up to 1200 rams annually, and reducing the average micron of the commercial flock. From a total of 80,318 commercial ewes, approximately 44,000, ranging in ages from 2 1/2 to 5 1/2 years, were subjectively classed, with the selected ewes being fleece weighed and tested for micron and yield. 3,920 ewes, 5% of the total, were selected to form a ram breeding flock. In 1990, 2,389 four tooth ewes, selected by the same process from 26,200 commercial ewes (1 1/2 year olds in 1989) and 144 two tooth, again classed and tested, were added to the ram breeding flock. In 1991, a further 903 four tooth and 224 two tooth ewes, bred in the commercial flock, plus 827 two tooths bred from the original 3,920 ewes selected in 1989, were added. All had been visually assessed and objectively measured. The total number of ewes introduced to the ram breeding flock since 1989 is 8,407. At the November 1991 mating, 5,962 ewes were joined, 2,445 being either CFA or returned to the commercial flock. In parallel to this screening of the commercial flock, the Company's registered stud ewes were visually classed and tested for micron and yield. 1,171 adult and 504 two tooth ewes were discarded prior to the 1990/91 mating season. This represents a culling rate of 48%. 1,804 registered ewes were mated in November 1990. The number of registered ewes mated in November 1991 was 1,658, the reduction being due to further classing and objective measurement. An application was made, in October 1991, to the Association to register the ewes in the ram breeding flock and their ewe progeny, as stud ewes. This application was considered and approved, following visual inspection by Association committee members in 1992. Resigned in December 2002.
