In November, 2008 we took a trip to Australia looking for new
Prime SAMM genetics.
As we visited with the Australian producers, we discovered
common interest and concerns about the sheep industry.
1. Sheep producers are truly the salt of the earth.
Hardworking and ready to share information, good and bad,
for the betterment of the industry.
2. The producers are looking for ways to increase
profitability and thus a financial way to pass on their legacy
to the next generation.
3. Like all true agriculturist, sheep producers are survivalist.
4. The progressive sheep producers know and understand
that in order to achieve profitably, a producer needs to look
for and adapt to change.
5. Producers realize that they cannot control the weather or
the markets but they can control input cost and increase
lambing percentage, pounds of weaned lambs, increase
livability in the lambs and ewes thus increasing the numbers
of lambs for sale while maintaining a fine wool micron.
As we travel across Western Australia, we visited with
Purebred producers, commercial producers, and sheep yard
personal. We talked with people in stores, at gas (fuel)
stations, and at tourist attractions (yes, we even found sheep
producers there!)
We asked the question: What type of sheep is working and
making the Australian producers money? Every time the
answer was Prime SAMM sheep.
We would like to thank the following stations who spent time
with us and sharing their knowledge.
Sandown Prime SAMMs Tony and Fran Abbey
Sunnyside Prime SAMM Wally and Linely Filmer
Gracefield SAMM Rocco and Chris DeBellis
Glenlea Alex and Lyn Leach
Romilly Hills Prime SAMMS Stan and Carole Dorman
Rockdale Prime SAMMS Hyden, Peta, and Mark Edwards
