History of Coryule Stud

Founded in 2009

In 2006, we began using the best genetics from Nerstane to Artificially Inseminate 200 ewes each year for our own breeding program. This experience showed us the economic benefits of using this bloodline in our commercial flock and was the impetus for us investing further in developing our own stud. We found that the Nerstane breed amplified our aim of producing a large framed stock that suited our sometimes difficult climate.

Coryule Merinos was founded in 2009 with the purchase of 60 stud ewes and a ram from the Nerstane Stud’s N33 at the 2008 Australian Sheep Show.

In 2012 we commenced breeding poll sheep with similar characteristics to our horned sheep. We artificially inseminated 50 ewes with top Alfoxton semen and a further 20 Alfoxton embryo’s were purchased.
