Supporter spotlight: Pastora Poll Merino
Pastora Poll Merinos are located at Lockhart, in southern NSW and are one of the largest suppliers of poll Merino rams in NSW.
Pastora runs 5000 stud ewes on 3800ha, with soils ranging from clay plains country to rising red loam. Annual rainfall is around 425mm or 17 inches.
Pastora is managed at maximum stocking rates, with stud ewes run under commercial conditions. No self-feeders or supplements are provided and this is designed to emulate commercial management practices. Tim and Rachel Westblade consider this an important factor in the maintenance and stud selection process. Maintenance feeding by trail is used during tough times.
Pastora sheep are good converters of pasture into wool and meat and do not require extra feed to be productive.
