Superb genetics to advance your flock

Welcome to Rocklyn Merino Stud

 

Adaptive breeding

With over 80 years of adaptive breeding, Rocklyn produces plain bodied, heavy cutting sheep of around 19 micron with high fertility and good early growth rates that can withstand climatic extremes from extended wet periods to dry and dusty conditions.

Top genetics that perform

Rocklyn puts in the hard yards for you, sourcing top quality genetics from leading sires across Australia, then performance testing and benchmarking them through sire evaluations and the use of ASBVs. Rocklyn offers advice on ram selections to help clients meet their individual breeding objectives.

Customised, not compromised

Careful selections over time have allowed us to develop robust, dual-purpose sheep without compromising the wool quality or quantity. Emphasis is placed on producing long-stapled, bright, soft handling, well-nourished wool with good crimp definition.
