We registered our stud in 1991, with a Collinsville base and Collinsville daughter studs. In 2000 we joined the SRS® Company as a participating stud.
In 2008 we did not mules any lambs, any lambs with any breech wrinkle after shearing were clipped and identified, resulting in about 40% clipped.
Classer's comments
So what’s there to like about Roemahkita? The most staggering feature of today’s Roemahkita animal is the general make up and overall appearance leading to all-round better breeding traits and predictability. Gone are the over nourished, study, short stapled types of yesteryear, (although still too common in some parts!) and rapidly replace with the free skinned, framey soft wools which the stud now is rapidly acclaimed for.
There is no mystery as to how this all eventuated, with careful planning and selection of appropriate semen and sires combined with extensive ewe classing, based on skin make up and structure, immediate response ensured. Jim Watt’s influence was a major player in this classer’s decision making.
Micron has tumbled in parallel with lower SD’s and CV’s. All this adds up to less waster or lower cull rates, due to improved skin type and the ability to fill more pens with better sale rams.
Reserve rams retained at Roemahkita are now of extreme quality and more abundant. There is now the ability to fill the top on-property sale pens with this type, as well as stunning clients and potential clients with extreme quality of Classings Classic Sales.
Wallaloo Park genetics have formed a huge wool base for Roemahkita and with current additions of Leahcim sires and sons of, the stud is now in top shape to supply animals of high end quality and frame sheep with exceptional fibre quality.
As advisor, classer, psychiatrist!! To Roemahkita it comes easy to recommend these top end animals to not only fastidious commercial clients but also to studs endeavouring to emulate the rise and rise of this stud.
