Konongwootong Dorsets

Stud Information

At Konongwootong Dorsets, our long term focus is on the production of commercially profitable, high performing, durable Poll Dorset rams, that meet the demands of prime lamb producers throughout our surrounding regions.

We breed rams that will sire outstanding fast maturing prime lambs targeted at key Export and Trade Markets; giving our clients the best opportunity to maximise their marketing opportunities.

Structural correctness has always been an important factor in the assessment process of our bloodlines, in conjunction with Lambplan Performance Recording System.

Konongwootong Dorsets is situated amongst the rolling hills at Konongwootong, North of Coleraine. In addition to the stud, we also run a commercial prime lamb enterprise consisting of 4000 self-replacing Dorset Coopworth cross ewes, showing our commitment to, and awareness of the challenges and modern requirements of Prime Lamb production.

At Konongwootong we conduct a strict bio-security plan. Our flock is Brucellosis accredited free and we hold an MN2V status in the MAP OJD programme, with our vaccination programme commencing in 2002.

Our flock rams are paddock reared on good, quality pastures, ensuring they are ‘paddock hardened” and ready to work from purchase.

This year we are offering 10 stud rams and 190 flock rams for auction at our on property sale at 428 Zig Zag Rd, Konongwootong. Lambplan facts and figures will be available for each ram prior to sale day or by request. Individual pens of rams will be available for viewing on the sale day from 9.30am, or on property prior to sale day by appointment.

We will also have a display of rams at the Naracoorte Hamilton Region Field Day at Naracoorte on Friday 16th August 2024.
