What Others Say

Roger and Donna Polkinghorne, Charinga Merino Stud, St Arnaud, Victoria

"Congratulations to the Rubie family on the sheep you are breeding in your stud Lachlan Merinos. The flock truly reflects your aims in breeding. They are big, structurally sound, 18-20 micron, heavy cutting sheep with super soft wool and well-defined crimp, with luster and brightness. Commercially these sheep are market leaders. The wool industry needs more people like you Glen!"
