History
This stud was founded in 1988 as the South Australian Merino Resource flock (SAMRF) and registered in 2012 by the Minister for Agriculture, Food & Fisheries, trading as S.A. Research & Development Institute, by the purchase of 15 rams & 500 ewes from each of the following studs: ANAMA, F. No. 151, SOUTHROSE, F. No. 4245, EAST BUNGAREE, F. No. 115 and COLLINSVILLE, F. No. 318. Each year from 1989 to 1996, the SAMRF ewes were mated naturally within stud groups to 12 rams selected at random from each stud, the rams being used only once. In 1997 the SA Selection Demonstration Flocks (SASDF) were initiated and between 1997 and 2005, selected SAMFR ewes were divided into four flocks pertinent to Control, Measured Performance, Classer Assessment and Elite Wool. A fifth flock, relating to Fibre Meat Plus was started in 2000 with the further introduction of ewes from ANAMA, F. No. 151, BADERLOO, Poll F. No. 1270, GRASS MERINOS, F. No. 3884, MOORUNDIE PARK, Poll F. No. 88, OLD ASHROSE, F. No. 3762, PANLANTINGA Poll F. No. 794 and WILLEMENUP, Poll F. No. 452. In 2006 SASDF ewes suited to easy care, dual purpose objectives were selected to form the basis of the Turretfield Dual Purpose flock. An average of 570 ewes were mated annually between 2006-2012, originally to home-bred sires but in later years to leading industry stud sires. The SASMSA Management Committee is of the view that the flock is very well regarded and known to offer high quality Merino genetics founded on a long term industry supported breeding program. Resigned February 2014.
