Features
At Shalimar Park we believe it is important to make money out of merinos, which means sheep need to have good conformation and size as well as bright, rich, stylish, soft handling wool.
These sheep are easy care and our clients tell us they adapt well to a wide range of conditions.
Benchmarks: Shalimar Park enters shows, wether trials and fleece competitions with very pleasing results. When weighing of sale rams was introduced at the 2011 Armidale Merino Ram Sale, a Shalimar Park ram was the heaviest, weighing in at 135kg, with a micron of 17.9. The ram, when shorn by its new owner, cut 13kg of wool.
Sales: As well as a successful annual on-property ram sale, and selling at Armidale, Mudgee and Inverell multi-vendor sales, Shalimar has an annual surplus sheeep sale and these large framed sheep have a good resale value to restockers and meatbuyers alike. The Shalimar sheep usually top the local sales.
