Clovernook Poll Merinos are the choice for economic, environmental and social sustainability. We are selecting for high performance in growth, carcase, fleece value, reproduction and parasite resistance on a non-mules, low maintenance sheep.
Our wool is bright, white, long and crimpy. All sheep are shorn every 8 months with an average of 75 -80mm staple length depending on season.
115% weaning per ewe joined is consistently being achieved.
Mulesing was ceased in 2008 in the commercial flock. Fly strike is rare and not tolerated.
Feet requiring trimming are not tolerated.
Selection for worm resistance is a critical component of our long term worm management program.

Achievements
Clovernook Poll was registered in 2016. A small number of ewes were purchased from Nerstane Poll and Petali Poll while the bulk of the stud ewes were upgraded by inspection from the existing Clovernook commercial flock. Semen has been purchased from several leading sires from studs such as Nerstane Poll, Centre Plus Poll, Tuckwood Poll and Toland Poll.Features
The use of ASBV's and stringent visual assessment form the backbone of our breeding program. ASBV's allow us to target high performing genetics, in a balanced approach, for the traits we feel will drive profit and sustainability in our flock. Stringent visual selection ensures we are producing animals that are fit for, and have longevity in, our challenging environment.Clovernook Poll Merinos are the choice for economic, environmental and social sustainability.
