Lot 91: Romney 2th ewes
Romney ewes with over 100 years of breeding behind them here at Meadowslea. These sheep have been lambed completely unshepherded since 1992, which has selected for outstanding mothering ability and strong lamb survival. Meadowslea was one of the foundation flocks in SIL and is flock number 14 so there is a very strong tradition of performance recording. A number of these ewes also incorporate KikiSouth worm-resistant genetics.

Lot 98: Romney 2th ewes
