Sixty poll and horn rams will be offered with full fleece test figures available.
Hinesville’s breeding direction has been focused on real commercial profitability.
Concentrating on high fleece weight, fertility and high body weights are the main selection criteria.
Commercial clients have topped the Wagga Wagga saleyards on four occasions during the winter of 2014 with prices from $123 to $133.60 off-shears.
Numerous clients have been listed in The Land this year topping Sydney wool sales for their micron category.
The Hinesville wool clip’s main fleece lines have been typed MF3 demonstrating the superior wool being produced.
Owner Drew Chapman said stud ewe fleeces have also been awarded the Most Valuable Fleece 18.5 to 20.0 microns at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show.
Hinesville/ West Plains have had ram and genetic sales to all mainland states in Australia and to New Zealand in many diverse climates.
“Hinesville/West Plains use showing at major shows to benchmark our sheep against the competition in Australia,” Mr Chapman said.
“This year we have won Supreme March Shorn Exhibit and Supreme Medium Exhibit at Campbelltown Show in Tasmania.
“We will be offering a team of well grown rams to clients and welcome all visitors to visit us at the Hinesville Woolshed, 271 Rocky Range Road, Delegate.”
