Morton Studs
Emily and Scott Davidson continue the trend of exceptional Border Leicester sales with the 61-year-old stud, maximising all the measurements for muscle, growth, tenderness, ease of lambing, plus maintaining easy care and correct structure.
The “Morton” Border Leicester Stud was founded in 1959 with the purchase of 13 stud ewes of mainly “Crymelon” blood from the “Tatakeeper” dispersal. The Morton Poll Dorset Stud was founded in 1999 with the purchase of the complete drop of ewe lambs from the dispersal of Harvey Nolan’s “Woodend” Stud.
BORDER LEICESTER
The name “Morton” was chosen for the stud and property name to commemorate the short life of John’s great uncle, Morton Reginald Sandland, who was killed at Kokoda, New Guinea in World War II.
The “Morton” Border Leicester Stud (flock no. 2656) was founded in 1959 with the purchase of 13 stud ewes of mainly “Crymelon” blood from the “Tatakeeper” dispersal.
POLL DORSET
The Morton Poll Dorset Stud was founded in 1999 with the purchase of the complete drop of ewe lambs from the dispersal of Harvey Nolan’s “Woodend” Stud.
This was followed by the purchase of the complete “Brengool” Stud of Frank Brennan in April 2000.
Both studs were in Lambplan, and it will be continued at Morton. Regular AI programs have used the best rams available in Australia and New Zealand.
