Gromark

They were selected for a high growth rate, fertility, wool quality and carcase attributes.

[2] The Gromark breed is hardy with a low incidence of fly strike and dystocia.

Since 1965 Gromark sheep have been selected by objective measurement for good growth, without excessive fat.

The results are being used to provide breed-specific parameters to improve the accuracy of Estimated Breeding Values (EBV) produced by Australia's national performance testing scheme for meat sheep.

[4] This breed is mostly found in the high rainfall areas of south-east Australia, in New South Wales and Victoria.
