𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐝, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥. The opportunity to move away from mulesing starts with the right genetics. Consumer demand for ethically grown wool continues to strengthen, with RWS wool attracting strong premiums. At Pooginook, we're not interested in the debate - we're focused on breeding merinos that can survive, thrive and perform without the need for breech modification. Pooginook has been non-mulesed since 2022, with strong demand and premiums for our wool. Our 6-month wool at 63mm is regularly sold at similar values to full-length wool. And now you can access the genetics to help secure the future of the sheep industry and your business. With a stud average EBWR of -0.6, this year's ram team gives commercial producers the opportunity to start moving towards no-breach-modification breeding without compromising productivity, wool value and resilience. Don't wait for the market to force the change. Start building the flock now that will allow you to stay relevant to all consumers.

All in all, a great day of shared learning amongst a group of forward-thinking merino producers looking to make the most of strong markets and continue driving their businesses forward.

We get comfortable doing things the way we've always done them. We can look at our own results and think they're good enough. What if the producer over the fence is achieving better lambing percentages, better growth, better wool returns or lower costs? How would you know if you never jump the fence and have a look? That's the thinking behind this year's P/GK Open Day. We're opening the gates to give producers the opportunity to see what we're doing, question why we're doing it and understand what we've learned along the way. We'll talk openly about: 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒: What the leading producers are selecting for, what the data and science tells us, and what poor breeding direction or selection decisions cost. 𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐋: Where value is being created and what the market and consumers want. 𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 & 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓: What it costs when we don't give our genetics the opportunity to perform. 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒: What actually happens when we put it all together. P/GK has got all the answers. But you won't find better answers by staying on your own side of the fence. Come and hear what others are doing. Challenge our thinking. Share your own experiences. Take the good ideas home.

𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒 Our Open Day is back on Tuesday 8th September, and this year it's built around learning, not just looking. Three voices on the genetics, wool and nutrition that drive your flock. 𝐃𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐨𝐧 (𝐧𝐞𝐗𝐭𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢), host of the Head Shepherd podcast and one of the sharpest minds on turning breeding data into decisions. Mark helped build our P/GK Selection Index and wrote the Ram Buyer's Guide we point clients to, so he knows our program inside out. 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐤 (𝐉𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐥), a familiar voice on where wool prices and demand are heading, and what it means for growers this season. Wool is at the heart of the P/GK story, and with the market where it is right now there's plenty to talk about. 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐳 (𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬), on the nutrition and animal health that let good genetics show what they can do, with a focus on productivity and profitability. The Open Day is your best chance before the 22nd September sale to put your hands on the full team, see the rams run up the long race, and read the figures behind every one of them.

Spirits were high as we move into a favourable outlook for spring, with a good sub moisture profile in a lot of the southern Riverina, to kick off spring. It was great to see clients, meet new people and many co workers from Paraway’s Riverina stations. There were great conversations around genetic direction and the phenotype we had on display. Thank you to fellow studs and trade displays for supporting the day, and Elders, Nutrien, AWN and the committee members, for driving such a great event.

𝟗𝟓𝟎 𝐄𝐰𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐎𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦 950 ewe hoggets sold today to a long-term ewe buyer for $365 per head on farm. At 14 months of age they averaged 51 kg after a 9-hour curfew, equivalent to 77% of standard reference weight, and will be ready to join on 1st October. These ewe hoggets cut $89 in wool income from 8.5 months' growth and have grown well through a very tough 14-month period. A further 1,700 ewe hoggets from the same drop have been retained and will form a significant part of the program next year. A strong result, backed by the predictability of the P/GK genetics, and a good reflection of the productive, commercially relevant genotype we are aiming to breed. See the program behind these results at our Open Day on Tuesday, 8th September, on property from 8am with presentations starting at 10am.

Wool Colour, fleece rot and character are also measured and entered into Sheep Genetics, creating ASBVs that form part of the P/GK Selection Index. The ewe portion of the drop is tested at 8.5 months’ wool growth in July at 13 months of age. We double down by testing them again at 18 months, in April. This additional data helps improve the accuracy of AFD and ACFW ASBVs and sets us apart from most ram breeders in the data base. Giving us as a supplier and our clients increased confidence, that the breeding values we are selecting on have the highest level of accuracy. At P/GK, we put more emphasis on breeding values than raw test results, as raw measurements can be heavily influenced by management, birth type and seasonal conditions. That said, the results are solid. The 2025-drop sale rams have tested at an average: 16 micron 2.6 SD 16 CV 99.7% comfort factor With a staple length of 66mm and staple strength of 59 N/ktex, at 11.5 months of age and with six months of wool growth. P/GK wool has consistently attracted a premium at auction and this is why. The combination of wool type, objective measurement, genetic performance and RWS certification is highly regarded by the wool and apparel industry. Come and inspect the rams for yourself and see why the P/GK wool type continues to stand out.

Soft handling, ethically produced, crimpy white P/GK wool, backed by a balanced set of numbers across production, wool, reproduction and resilience. • WWT 7.0 — Top 10% • PWT 10.2 — Top 10% • YWT 12.0 — Top 20% • YFAT 0.9 — Top 30% • YEMD 2.2 — Top 20% • CS 0.3 — Top 30% • YCFW 25.9 | ACFW 18.7 • Staple Strength 3.3 — Top 30% • YWEC -13.3 The breech traits are also heading in the right direction, with EBWR -0.7 and LDAG -0.4, supporting producers looking to transition away from breech modification. Fertility remains a key part of the direction, with YCON 0.25 — Top 20% and WR 0.2. As a team, they average an SM Index of 160.1, placing them just outside the Top 10% of the industry data set. Their P/GK Selection Index averages 237.3, putting them at the top end of the 2025 drop. These rams are a genuine representation of the P/GK breeding direction and the type of genetics that will be available at our 2026 Ram Sale on Tuesday 22nd September. Come and have a look. Pick a favourite. More importantly we could discuss what this genotype could do in your production system - and how it could lift the bottom right corner of the balance sheet.
