Blyth Merino stud is dedicated to breeding profitable, dual-purpose sheep that produce more wool, more lambs and more meat.
Our wrinkle-free, easy-care and high fertility sheep are bred to perform in a range of environments and seasonal conditions.
More wool
Blyth Merino sheep produce high yields of fine wool. Our mature ewes produce 6.5 to 7 kg fleeces of exceptionally white and soft wool with a fibre diameter of 18.5 to 19 microns. We select for wool that has a deep, bold crimp to cope with high rainfall and has a high comfort factor.
More lambs
Blyth Merino stud has been selecting for a balanced ratio of eye muscle and fat depth for more than 35 years. This focus has significantly improved lamb survival and weaning rates. We routinely achieve weaning rates of 120 to 140%, while our hogget ewes routinely achieve weaning rates of 110 to 115%.
More meat
Blyth Merino sheep produce heavy, high yielding carcases that readily achieve prime lamb market specifications. Many of our young rams are in the top 10% of MERINOSELECT breeding values for yearling weight, fat depth and eye muscle depth.
About us
Blyth Merino stud is owned and operated by Ron and Cheryl Blyth. We run 1800 stud and 3000 commercial ewes on two properties near Adelong in southern NSW.
The long-term average rainfall is about 760 mm (30”). Our flock is classed by Ron Blyth with the assistance of Elders District Wool Manager, Tim McMeekin, and Jim Gordon from ‘Glensloy’, Young, NSW.
