Twenty years ago, Cooee Merinos on the Southern Tablelands of NSW faced ongoing challenges with fertility, lamb survival, wool quality and fly pressure in a demanding climate.
Since transitioning to self-replacing SRS® Merinos, the operation has transformed. Today, the flock consistently delivers around 130% lambing, produces plain-bodied, easy-care sheep, has been non-mulesed since 2008, and has eliminated the need for fly treatments through genetic selection.
With surplus lambs that offer strong fat and muscle for the meat market, the enterprise has also created an additional income stream without the need for crossbreeding.
It's a powerful example of how selecting for balanced, functional genetics can improve profitability, animal welfare and long-term resilience.

It's a balanced approach to breeding that delivers long-term productivity and stronger returns.
