Yalgoos ambition has always been to breed the industry’s most profitable sheep, using supporting benchmarking data and science to provide validation for their clients. This ambition starts with extreme fleece value; as income is derived from every sheep/ annually through shearing. Their journey is by no means over but the process of transforming the average Yalgoo merino ewe into a sheep cutting 7kgs of 15 micron wool is well under way. The current mixed age commercial ewe is carrying well over $100 of fleece value. The other layer’s of their direction are:

•Decreasing cost of production through an uncomplicated, non-muelsed, fleece-rot resistant animal with worm resistance. The evidence that they are achieving this, is they have been producing a non-muelsed sheep for 7 years in our high summer rainfall environment. The 2022 Ram sale team has an average WEC within the top 30% of the breed

•Early growth to maximise lamb income and provide the opportunity to mate ewe lambs. In 2020 the average Yalgoo wether lamb sold; dressed out at over 25kg carcase weight

•A carcase and growth profile that will optimise profit per hectare and not compromise stocking rates. This consists of positive carcase traits and an animal that grows quickly and then matures into a moderate, fertile ewe.

•Critically, continue to benchmark their genetics and their business to ensure their goals are being realised and independently validated. With a growing flock over the next few years Yalgoo will be indexing between 4500 and 5500 ewe weaners annually to compete for a place in their stud ram breeding nucleus. This large genetic scale gives Yalgoo a competitive advantage in accelerating genetic gain for their clients.
