This years Woolgrower’s Breakfast is open to anyone and everyone. The focus of the presentations will be on nutrition, ram health and management, the wool market and perhaps a bit of crystal ball gazing. Come along for a bacon and egg roll, coffee and a catch up – please let Jenni know if you are coming for catering purposes.
The Best of the Best sale will run after the presentations. We have an exceptional team of 34 rams on offer. These rams were reserved in September 2019 and have since had a second stage fibre test and analysis making their data highly accurate. The team presented to you are surplus to our stud ram requirements and represent the highest quality rams offered for sale by Hazeldean each year.
We have managed to keep the rams going on crops and they have done very well and are ready to get to work in their new flocks. The performance of this team of rams is unrivalled; the average yCFW and yFD for the team is in the top 10% of the industry and the average MP+ value is in the top 4%. We once again kept all the fleeces so that we can present the sale team’s fleece alongside each individual lot on sale day. The rams were shorn in late November and averaged a massive 5.9kg from 6 months growth with an average micron of 18.6.
We are excited to present this team of rams to you – they present an opportunity to purchase the most accurate, dependable and profitable genetics in the industry in super sound package.

The Hazeldean Breeding Policy
The special treatment of small groups through shedding and provision of artificial rations is at odds to the philosophy of the stud. To give accurate and meaningful measurement information, it is necessary to evaluate animals by running them in large contemporary groups under conditions equivalent to those experienced in the world of commercial wool growing.
Hazeldean therefore runs its stud operations along the lines of a commercial wool growing and breeding enterprise.
Hazeldean bases its selection decisions and grading for sale on a measurement system that has been in place for many years. Measurement, when applied with common sense, significantly improves the accuracy of selecting for heritable traits of economic importance such as fleece weight and fibre diameter.
Hazeldean Flock Health Status
The Hazeldean flock is assessed under the National Johne's Disease Market Assurance Program and holds a status of Monitored Negative 3 Vaccinated ( MN3-V).
The Hazeldean flock is also accredited as Brucellosis free.
Please note
Although Hazeldean employs best practice procedures in livestock husbandry and does it's best to ensure every animal catalogued for sale is free from disease, internal parasites and external parasites it does not guarantee that any sale animal is free of disease, internal parasites or external parasites.
Semen Interests
Hazeldean retains 100% semen interest and marketing rights on all rams sold including if the ram is onsold, however this does not stop the purchaser from collecting and using semen in their own flock. The rams are sold with full physical ownership to the buyer. If Hazeldean decides to collect and market semen from any ram sold, we will arrange and pay for transport and collection costs, and organise a suitable time to collect the ram.
