Hill Padua MPM artificially inseminates around 400 to 500 ewes annually using both our own semen and other leading sires from around Australia. The rest of the flock is mated by either single sire groups, ram lamb syndicates or flock mated.
Each and every ewe is classed through the race and individually selected to match a certain ram to maximize the opportunity to produce the best lamb possible to achieve our breeding goals.

His YEMD and FAT are acceptable but not the best. This is a Ram with beautiful white wool and plenty of nourishment. It is a good Frame Ram, with prefect legs, very pure head. We are using him in those ewes that have very good meat and fertility traits but needed a bit of improvement on the wool side.

He was breed by HP 160286 which was a very good wool ram. 703, is a good overall Ram, but we consider him a Wool Ram. Long and soft wool, with plenty of density and 17.6 micron. Not the biggest frame, but with good figures. This Ram have the most fertile bloodline of all our sires, every year at lamb marking he is the ram with more lambs x ewes mated, having a lot of twin sons. Is a Ram that have consistently put progeny on the Ram Sale with really good wool quality. We have used him for 3 years in a Row in our AI program. We use him on ewes with big frames but low wool figures.
This Ram lamb is considered one of the best rams we have breed. This is the closest we have been to a perfect animal; at least for the type of Rams we are aiming for. His structure is amazing. Perfect legs, plain and deep body, very square back end, good neck extension and beautiful clean and pure head. He was the best in almost all the measurements in the 2021 drop, measuring 5.7mm YFAT, 39.5mm YEMD, 85.5kg at 11 months old and 4.8kg of wool at 6 months shearing as a lamb, positioning him as 132% compared to the clean fleece weight average of the 2021 Ram Lambs. His wool is very bright with a bolder crimp tendency and 19 micron. We have great expectations for this Ram. We think that this is a Ram that could add good structure as well as positive FAT and EMD for any flock in Australia.
Brother of 210273: Semen will be available. This Ram have excellent conformation, excellent growth and really nice touch on his wool, he was one of the best wool measurements of his year drop, and we believe he is a perfect example of the wool we are trying to achieve.
