Developing a strategy to improve results in Artificial Breeding
BREEDING OBJECTIVE
"Our breeding objective is the same today as when we started in 1997 and that is to breed easy-care sheep, ewes and rams that perform and thrive in low rainfall grazing country"
OUR STUDS
Dorpers
Acting on strong demand for Dorper rams from our pastoral clients and regional sales Annabel set up Genelink Dorper Stud with stud ewes purchased at the DSSA national sale in 2005 from Whynot and Newstead Studs. Further additions came from the Arcadius and Bulmar flocks.
White Dorpers
The Australis White Dorper Stud was established with a strong genetic base that continually evolves with the ability to produce rams that ensure the improvement and predictability of the White Dorper genotype.
UltraWhites
In our on farm sheep breeding programs we have worked closely with Brendon and Maureen Duncan of Glen Park, Wentworth NSW and since 2016 have been using their Hilcroft Farm UltraWhite Rams over selected Australis and Genelink White Dorper Ewes to see how they performed on our home property.
ABOUT US
Over 50 years experience
Australis White Dorper Stud was established in 2002 by Bronte Mawson as a derivative of Axis White Dorper Stud. Axis imported embryos from South Africa as part of the Saltbush syndicate in 1997 and with further importations in 1998 established a breeding operation with a diverse genetic pool. The South African bloodlines included, Floors Brand, Piet Cilliers, and Hennie Jacobs.
​
The stud was relocated to our current home in the Dawsley Valley in the Eastern Adelaide Hills. During 2012 Bronte, together with Annabel Mangal purchased Genelink White Dorper Stud following the dispersal of the Parilla livestock operations.
​
Recognising strong demand for Dorper rams from our pastoral clients and regional sales Annabel set up Genelink Dorper Stud with stud ewes purchased at the DSSA national sale in 2005. ET programs rapidly increased numbers and with a lot of culling a 150 ewe breeding flock was established. Rams have been sourced from proven genetics sorted out by the harsh conditions at Glen Park via Wentworth NSW.
