The outstanding commercial performance of Greendale merino genetics is highlighted in recent comparison trials across NSW.

Greendale Merinos benchmarks its genetics through ASBVs, sire evaluations and wether trials.

The breeder currently has three sires entered in the Merino Lifetime Productivity (MLP) project, evaluating them against other sires, with high-ranked results to date.

At the Peter Westblade Memorial Merino Challenge Wagga 2016-2018, clients using Greendale genetics were ranked first, second and third on dollar return per hectare.

In the last 15 years of the Bookham trial, Greendale genetics have produced the highest profit per hectare. The latest trial (2015-2018) concluded with Greendale genetics finishing first and a commercial client having the highest dollar return per hectare from 29 teams.  

This year Greendale has embarked on the use of genomics with DNA testing that will enable the breeder to obtain full pedigree on all of its nucleus flock and achieve greater predictability and accuracy on ASBVs.

Greendale genetics are a commercial entity focused on producing the most efficient and profitable merino.

Greendale genetics will be offered at its annual ram sale on October 25. Lots available include sons of industry-leading sires Hazeldean 11-3542, and Greendale 14-141 and 12-012 and 15-018.
