GROUP SITES A New England
website called New England Merino lists 19 stud farms in the
Uralla - Bendemeer - Walcha region. The site appears to be a
co-operative run by Rob Taylor of Birrahlee and Katrina Blomfield of
Karori. Some stud farms around Mudgee between
Windemere Dam and Lake Burrendong, from Hill End to Gulgong have banded
together to put up the site Mudgee Merinos. A site named Mid State
Merinos is a catchment for stud farms in the region bounded by Peak
Hill, Yeoval, Cumnock, Dubbo and Forbes. The Merino Sheepbreeders
association of Victoria has started a site named Merino Victoria
which has a useful looking listing of Studs also sorted by region &
owner.
