Stud History
Adina Merino Stud was registered in 1986 and breeding quality Merinos is both the business and the passion of long time local family Ray, Margaret & James Barron. Over the years the aim has been to firstly lower and then maintain micron without sacrificing fleece weight or fertility. Adina Merino Stud rams are run the tough Monaro, they have hardy constitutions and fine to fine-medium wool on large frames. Adina sheep have become renowned for their heavy cutting and superior wool qualities.
The last 12 months have seen a significant increase in wool prices, this combined with the best season in many years and premium prices being paid for Merino ewes, means there has never been a better time to join more ewes to Merino Rams. Ray & James are continuing to see the benefits of the use of selective mating, using sires not only from within the Stud but also sourcing sires from leading Australian Studs to introduce new & desirable genetics to assist in achieving long term goals. This year has seen Adina register a Poll Merino Stud and 2012 will see Poll Merino Rams form a significant part of the Sale team
