Kalnari Australian White Sheep Stud
Bred for Australian conditions
The Australian White breed was developed by blending elite lines from four existing breeds. Through the use of numerous embryo transfer programs and artificial insemination, as well as extensive selection procedures the breed has quickly realised its objectives. A hardy and adaptable breed, it thrives in various Australian pastoral conditions, while maintaining good conversion rates and ease of finishing.

After 40 years in the prime lamb industry, we sought a self-replacing, fully shedding flock with minimal inputs. In 2011, Kalnari Stud was registered as flock no 9. In 2012, recipient ewes were purchased from the AW Foundation Flock carrying purebred embryos. To increase numbers in the early years, embryo transfer programs were carried out using rams from the AWFF, and later, using rams purchased from Baringa Stud. Stud ewes were also purchased from the original Highveld Stud. Rams of Tattykeel lines were also added to the program. Since 2019, all matings have been natural, allowing for better monitoring of fertility, mothering and lactation capabilities.
We currently run 600 AW stud ewes and 200 AW commercial ewes, in conjunction with our cropping and beef cattle enterprises. We can offer stud and commercial, ewes and rams, with exceptional shedding as well as superior muscling. Our prime lambs are finished on grass and sold at 16-20 weeks, dressing: 23-25kg.
NO SHEEP REQUIRE SHEARING.
