Uardry  UD080270 Sire purchased October 2009 for $22,000 Uardry Manager, Ben Lane said the ram was a standout amongst the 2008 drop. He has a proven pedigree of several generations for both meat and wool attributes. The ram displays premium carcass traits with large hindquarters. His wool is soft, white and stylish with good density. The ram was selected privately by James Lilburne of Australian Topstock. James said having viewed many potential sires this ram had exceptional quality; he was a standout in the Dohne breed and displayed potential as a leader in the Australian Dohne Industry.       Left: Ben Lane Uardry Manager with Bill Pye and Uardry  UD080270     Uardry  UD080270     Grade AA               EBV's for UD080270   Sire BW FW FD Index MD CV Fat   MD063471 7.37 8.44 --0.96 131.3 -0.34 -0.96 0.0   100 Day Test 365 Day Testing (Taken at 300 days) Tag No bWT bWT EMD Micron SD CV CF UD080270 56.0 71 24 16.7 2.9 17.2 99.5

MD 03-0681 'Olympus'

Calga's confidence in the Dohne can be measured by the $20,000 Australian record price paid for the proven No 1 ranked sire in Australia, Macquarie MD03 0681 at the National Dohne sale at Dubbo in October 2004. At the time of purchase, and sale-day EBVs ranked it as the number one sire in Australia with figures of 10.6pc for bodyweight, -1.7pc for micron, -1.9pc for fleece weight, -1.9pc for fleece weight; and a 134.4pc index based on 34 progeny.

Auction price of $20,000, Olympus has excellent weight for age credentials being the heaviest in the drop at 300 days (82kg) and the heaviest at 365 days (96.5kg). His 365 day wool tests are also exceptional; micron 18.8, CV 11.1 and CF 99.9. Olympus is a long bodied ram with a good butt and conformation. He has no eye or muzzle pigmentation and carries a well nourished, soft handling, deep crimping medium wool fleece. Olympus has been used extensively at Macquarie with his progeny possessing the same quality attributes, most noticeably the pasterns.

JP 02-0031
Purchased from Jarramongup Dohne Stud, Jerramungup, WA for $5,200. JP31 is arguably the best-muscled Dohne sire in Australia. At 365 days he had a eye muscle of 45 (equivalent to the top Poll Dorsets). JP31 is an excellent Dohne type with great spring of rib carrying through to the twist. JP31 is the finest testing sire as a mature sheep that we are currently using.

AL 02-0089
Purchased from Glenleigh Dohne Stud, Katanning W.A for $8,250. AL89 is a long bodied, medium wool sire with good lock structure.

Progeny of 100 at the 2004 National Sale had the highest average (more than one ram represented) EBV for body weight (+7.8) of all rams entered.

RP00 0295

A sire jointly bred and owned by Macquarie and Roseville Park. He was sold at the Inaugural National Dohne Sale in 2001 for $5,000 to Stan Ellis, Hamilton VIC.  295 was not only one of the leading rams in this sale but completely unrelated to any other Dohnes in Australia. 295 is an extremely long bodied and well muscled sire with good structure.
