In the dynamic world of Merino sheep breeding, constant improvement is the key to success. At the forefront of this relentless evolution stands the Mumblebone breeding philosophy, embodying a commitment to excellence in Merino welfare and production.

Gone are the days of relying solely on raw data for selection decisions. Mumblebone embraces an evidence-based approach, leveraging the power of Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBV’s) across all critical areas of interest. With an extensive array of 30 individual ASBV’s, the intricate interactions of traits are thoroughly understood and assessed.

At the core of Mumblebone’s philosophy lies “trait balance” – a harmonious combination of often opposing traits that optimises flock performance. Achieving this balance requires meticulous analysis of figures and a rigorous visual assessment of wool and structural traits.
