Features
Stanley Vale Merino Stud produces elite wool, rams and semen from a stud nucleus of 1000 ewes whilst maintaining a commercial ewe flock as well.
Whilst maintaining the traditional wool style and micron sought by the Italian Superfine market Stanley Vale aims to produce long-stapled rams with higher fleece cuts and body weights that are resilient to harsh winters.
Our ewe breeding flock had an average fleece weight in the main line of ~4.6kg and an average micron of 16.3um at 2015 shearing.
All our stud rams are measured for a range of key traits, are NEFT tested and have Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs).
Stanley Vale is Footrot Free, has Brucellosis Free accreditation and OJD MN3 status.
