Our Sheep
Breeding
At Corriedale Hills, everything we breed is built around one principle: sheep that perform in the paddock, suit a variety of markets, and look after themselves.
For decades we have been selecting and refining genetics across our Corriedale and Poll Dorset studs, backed by Lambplan data and Genomic testing, so that when you add our animals to your flock, you are starting with a proven foundation.
Whether you are looking to introduce superior ram genetics, diversify your ewe stock or establish a quality starter flock, we have the stock and the knowledge to help you get there.
Corriedales
Our Corriedale stud is the heart of Corriedale Hills. We have spent generations selecting for sheep that produce quality wool, yield trade weight crossbred lambs, and thrive with minimal intervention — animals that work as hard as you do.
Since 1926 when Hartley Lush founded the stud with 6 South Australian ewes and a ram from Victoria, we have won numerous prizes at local and interstate shows, and exported nearly 3000 sheep to different countries.
We continually source the best available genetics from leading breeders and measure our progress rigorously through Lambplan and Genomic testing. The result is a commercial flock of over 1500 ewes across two properties that consistently demonstrates what we stand for: practical, productive, easy-care sheep.
If you are looking to lift the performance of your Corriedale flock — or start one — our rams and starter flock animals carry the genetics to make a real difference.
Poll Dorsets
Established at Corriedale Hills in 1978, our Poll Dorset stud was built with a clear purpose: producing terminal sires that consistently deliver trade weight prime lambs.
Over more than four decades, we have added rams from leading SA breeders to build a stud of 140 ewes with exceptional depth of quality.
Our rams are selected for good growth, strong muscling, open faces, and dense wool for skin value — the combination that gives commercial lamb producers the best outcomes. We source our genetics from the best available in the country, because that is what your operation deserves.
