24.01.2022 It has been a lifelong vision to breed high performing sheep. We also believe in evaluation of our genetics. There is no greater authority in our country if not the world than the Australian Merino Sire Evaluation Association for merino type sheep trials. It was a big thrill to read the latest Merino Superior Sires publication, no 26, finding out that one of our rams now sits at no 18 in the All time Dual Purpose + rank. There are three South Australian bred rams above him.... Congratulations to Calcookara, Tuckwood Poll and Roemahkita Poll studs. This means that Glen Holme 141077 is the highest ranking performance ram from the Mid North of SA. This result is due to the outstanding performance of his daughters in the Merino Lifetime Productivity project. These ewes had been outperforming the average of their peers at Balmoral by 33% for weaning weight per ewe joined and 23% for number of lambs weaned by their second lambing. If your sheep enterprise is based upon productivity and profitability then you should consider purchasing from Glen Holme Dohne stud. Our outstanding result comes from selection of high performance sheep rather than ones that are primped, preened and pampered. Ours have to work hard here, their progeny can work hard for you.

24.01.2022 We are excited about the wools on our Dohne sale team for September 17th. Here are some photos with lot numbers. There is a lot of very good sheep right to the end of the catalogue. You are welcome to contact us for a pre-sale inspection by appointment. www.glenholmedohnes.com... #dohnes

22.01.2022 Shearing 2020 Autumn drop ram lambs today. We have been very pleased with the wool styles and body types from the progeny of last year's Bendigo Show Grand Champion. Lauren and Damien shown holding one who is also pictured in the wool.

22.01.2022 Many thanks to all clients and bidders attending our On Property Auction on September 17th. Auctioneer Leo Redden from Nutrien Ag Solutions ran a lively sale resulting the top price of $3,200 being reached twice, and an overall average of $1585 for the 79 rams sold. Indicative of the depth of choice in the lineup, it took until lots 62 and 85 for the equal top prices to be reached. Darren O'Brien chose a son of the Glen Holme sire 162503 who is performing extremely well in t...he 2019 Balmoral Sire Evaluation. His progeny have shown very high growth whilst retaining the same wool cut as the average of his merino counterparts and being lower in both fibre diameter and coefficient of variation in fibre diameter. Lot 62 has a Dohne + Index of 175.9, a PEMD of 1.56, YCFW of 18.5 which are all top 10% trait leaders and a YSL of 4.98 which is in the top 20%. D & J Rich in Victoria, acting through family in SA, purchased lot 85, with a Dohne + Index of 175.2, with a PEMD of 1.7, both being trait leaders. Volume buyers the Hawthorne family took home 11 carefully chosen rams that fit the vision for their business. The Sherriff family secured 8 rams to continue their Dohne journey. Kernchen and Co who have come with us and our Dohnes from early on purchased 7. Mardango Props were also successful with 7. Of the107 commercial ewe hoggets that made $250, more than half were born as twins or triplets. These went to the Rich family. We were able to provide prospective clients with ASBV's for EBCOV, LDAG, PSC and YSL. These are beyond the mandatory Dohne requirements. Thanks to everyone for respecting Covid guidelines and requirements.

18.01.2022 Last Friday, October 30th, Damien and Allen travelled through Karoonda to attend the South Australian Sire Evaluation trial . The artwork on Karoonda silos was good to see. We were particularly interested because two of the sires represented by progeny are also being evaluated alongside one of our rams at Balmoral. We are very pleased with the results to Post weaning stage of our entry Glen Holme 162503. Attendance at such days is part of our commitment to training and development.

17.01.2022 Allen explains why having Dohne sheep enables us to be sustainable, mules free and environmentally responsible.

12.01.2022 We weighed our sale rams yesterday and checked out some of their wools. Here are just some of the photos. Sale day is Thursday. Progeny of 4 Sire Evaluation entrants will be available. Enquiries are welcome directly or through Agents Nutrien and AWN.

12.01.2022 Hay carting today. There is a fair bit of regrowth to contend with.

11.01.2022 It has been a good week for our clients. Photos are of results on Auctions Plus, and at Jamestown market. Congratulations to Indoota Pastoral, Victory Downs and Kernchen and Co. Lot 1 and equal top price of $5,000 in the Maquarie team was also sired by a Glen Holme ram. ... Performance is what matters.

09.01.2022 Another version of our On-Property Auction catalogue for 17th September. This year we have highlighted the top 10% and top 20% ASBVs (previous years it has been top 10 and top 50%).

08.01.2022 Some of the mature stud Dohne ewes who are aged between 2 and 7 years. We believe that we have achieved an ideal balance between meat and wool production coupled with easy care and high fertility. Our clients say so.

06.01.2022 We have now finished delivering rams following our Auction in September. This trip had a few delays and challenges due to the Covid pandemic. We thank all our client community for your ongoing support, and wish everyone a great year in 2021.

04.01.2022 Ram lot details and figures are available to download from website https://www.glenholmedohnes.com//s/on-property-auction.php Also 2 lots of commercial dohne ewes to be offered (approx 100 and approx 20). Full catalogue coming soon.

03.01.2022 2019 drop ewes. Their diet is dry grass and dam water. Having sheep that fatten on grass only, not needing large amounts of grain to make them productive is the secret to efficient profitability.

03.01.2022 The marketplace is speaking and will continue to do so. There are alternatives to mulesing. We are utilising genetics. Plainer bodied sheep and reduced breech cover help minimise flystrike. We have been recording breech cover and breech wrinkle scores for a number of years and this has led to ASBVs becoming available for breech traits also.

01.01.2022 A classic fit for Dohnes - self replacing merino type ewes - carcase - fertility - growth rate... - prime lambs - sale of surplus ewes ALL WITH THE ONE BREED - Dohnes See more
