ABOUT US
Wingamin White Suffolk Stud at a glance
Established in 1988 - Registered flock no. 50
We live near Karoonda, in South Australia's Murray Mallee region. It's a 325 mm rainfall district with the main farming operations being cereal growing, sheep and wool production.
We registered our White Suffolk stud (Flock no.50) in 1988. White Suffolks were still a developing breed at that time, but now are one of the most popular, leading terminal sire breeds in Australia.
We have found White Suffolks to be versatile and adaptable, performing well in tough Mallee conditions, growing quickly and reaching target weights without becoming excessively fat.
The property and flock attains MN 3 status under the OJD Market Assurance Program and is accredited Brucellosis Free. The entire Wingamin flock is performance tested through Lambplan and the stud attains GOLD status for highest data quality standard.

Judges com
ments:
"It was a very even team of virtually faultless sheep the ewes were brilliant and the ram had
the sire's outlook to compliment them beautifully"
(visiting Queensland judge, George Melano)

Judges comments (Andrew Michael) - Champion Ewe
"She is just so well muscled over the top. It would have been hard to place her anywhere else."
Judges comments - Reserve Champion Ram
"A very balanced animal. He has a terrific face and is an excellent example of the breed"
