"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!"
