We have bred a large flock of complete wool-shedding ewes - run without shearing or crutching to produce prime lamb.
Kars Station has been held by the Hughes family since 1870. It is semi arid country with 8in (200 ml) rainfall.
Development of the breed started on Kars Station in 1993. We have completed a back-crossing program using Poll Merino and Wiltshire Horn.
Wool has been completely eliminated from our prime lamb enterprise.
In 2001 Annie and Tom moved the nucleus of the flock to Martindale, Strathalbyn, South Australia while Fred & Pip Hughes continue with prime lamb production on the station.
