I had never got into my car after a days classing, immediately hop out, walk back over to the classing race where the crew were still packing up raddle, tags and the like and let them know that it was by far the greatest commercial classing day of my career! This happened on July 1st this year and no, it wasn’t the typical high calibre Karawatha Park job but of equal importance, a long serving client of theirs, John and Paul Schaeffer’s – Nalino Pastoral, Kimba S.A.

The three decades of purchasing only the very best genetics from two main sources in Wallaloo Park Vic. and Leahcim S.A. has seen Karawatha Park develop into one of the best in the nation for not only genuine fleece cutting fibre density from silky soft skins but a carcass easily able to appease any component of the ever important meat industry including early growth and eating quality. Add to this and due to the stud’s on going diligence in selecting genetics that support plain breech and long staple they in turn are addressing the ever important (in denial to most studs) subject, mulesing.

Between the many flocks that I class as well as talking to others who have been on the Karawatha trail for many years, you have to scratch to hear of any negatives associated with this mighty outfit and a book of testimonials could easily be filled. Such mighty animals deserve the best selling centre and the Karawatha Park On Property sale is the most atmospheric by far over all of my travels and very hard to escape!

I can easily suggest that if your flock is of low production, too studdy with wasty tight pin wrinkle or in need of heading toward the much required mules free world, then the Karawatha Park genetic is a true source of an easy quick fix at a realistic budget. The pre mentioned Nalino flock classing this year will be etched in my mind until I cark it as a true testimonial to this progressive enterprise.
