Welcome to Fairview Polwarths
Fairview is located on loamy undulating country 14km south east of Colac with the average annual rainfall of 900mm.
The property carries 950 Polwarth ewes in a dual purpose wool and fat lamb operation. Ewes are mated to either Polwarth rams or White Suffolk rams.
Ewes lamb in June/July with lambs weaned at 14-16 weeks. The flock is shorn in December and lambs are fattened on a summer crop before being sold in March/April.
Our Aims
Breeding objectives for the next 7 years are for all ewes to achieve:
- Body weight of 55-65kg
- Micron range of 21-22 micron
- Skirted greasy fleece weight of 4.5-5.5kg
- Increase eye muscle diameter and fat depth by a minimum of 15%
Performance Recording
To work towards our objectives efficiently, animals are individually recorded on Sapien Technology Kool Collect software where the following information is recorded:
- Electronic identification
- Pedigree
- Health treatments
- Weight gain
- Wool & Carcase measurements
- Breeding performance
