About this stud

Our rams are produced on predominantly dry land lucerne with minimal grain feeding during dry times, so they are ready to work at point of sale. Elite Sires are used by AI to maximize genetic gain within the stud resulting in Trait Leaders for Growth, Muscling and Moderate Birth Weight.

At Pepperton rams are also tested to provide accurate LEQ, a new index incorporating lean meat yield and eating quality with no emphasis on birthweight. Approx. 200 rams produced annually with ewes over 200 Cascase Plus Index being kept in the flock.

Dueran Pastoral Company have been repeated buyers of Poll Dorset Rams from Pepperton for several years now. We continue to purchase due to the fantastic figures that they present which always results in big heavy lambs which is very important to making sure our prime lamb business is profitable. Over the years we have come to know that Roger and Dianne have a genuine interest and commitment to their animals that they sell.
