The tremendous size for his wool type together with his great neck extension and presence made him stand out as a potential sire very early. N910 has that same back end as his mother who was extremely wide through the hindquarter. He is perfect on his feet while having a clean head and long soft muzzle. 

N910 has over three generations of embryo transfer genetics on both sides of his pedigree. His sire, N10, has proven himself here at Nerstane and at two Sire Evaluation sites where he has been outstanding for tops to culls ratio, high fleece weights and low micron. His outstanding mother (N984) was probably the best show sheep Nerstane has bred. 

N318 carries the same heavy, white wool and great crimp definition as his highly proven father N4636. This exceptionally long stapled ram was very well covered with fleece wool right down to the points. The extreme depth through his flank combined with his perfect wide stance and good clean head helped to make the decision of the five judges unanimous in awarding him Best Ram of the show and then Supreme Exhibit.

N318 was sold for $26000 at Bendigo in July 2011 to a syndicate led by Beaufront Merino Stud from Ross in Tasmania, and two Victorian Studs, Eilan Donan from Elphinstone and Mt Widderin from Skipton.

Nerstane has entered N318 in the New England Central Test Sire Evaluation for 2011. 

Grand Champion Fine Wool Ram Sydney Royal 2008 and Champion Fine Wool March Shorn Ram Dubbo National Show 2007

This ram is probably the heaviest cutting sheep Nerstane has produced.

N4636 has a very special skin type which carries heavy, true white, almost shiny wool all over his body.

As a 2 year old ram at Dubbo National show, he was regulation shorn in the production class and was the heaviest cutting, with the finest micron out of all the rams. He cut 16.1 kg of 18.7 micron wool! The fleece on the day was valued at $125.66.

At the 2008 Sydney Royal show a full sister to N4636, N984, was judged Best Junior Exhibit of the show. The next day she was given Grand Champion Fine Medium Wool Ewe and then was  unanimously judged the Best Ewe of the entire show.

Nerstane has used this outstanding son of N43 extensively in ET, AI and naturally and have some very interesting progeny. He throws a very white crimpy wool (with that same nourished tip) that always seems to weigh heavy.

N4636 has been proven in the Western Australian and the Tasmanian Central Test sire evaluation sites as well as the sheep CRC's Genomics program.

This ram is a full brother to the ewe 1039 who was judged Supreme Merino of the 2005 Sydney Royal Easter Show.

N933 is a very big, plainer type sheep with exceptional constitution showing great ''heartroom'' and stance. 

N933 was entered in the New England CTSE and has performed very well.

Progeny of N933 are also showing low worm egg counts (WEC).

Nerstane 920002 is one of Nerstane's leading sires due to his excellent breeding record and ability to consistently produce high performing progeny.

Arguably the most proven ram in Australia with nearly 4000 progeny recorded from 46 different flocks, N2 stamps his progeny with outstanding wool types, huge staple length, and negative WEC.   

The wool from N2 progeny in Sire Evaluations, at Nerstane, and in clients' own progeny tests is well nourished, long deep crimping soft fine wool that always attracts premiums in the marketplace.

Many leading studs including some of the most renowned merino studs have used N2 with great success.

Nerstane 142 is a very unique ram. His massive size and coverage carrying such a long staple of rich, deep crimping wool combined with the evenness and exceptional belly wool, convinced the 5 judges at Sydney to make their unanimous decision. His 18.6-micron test shows his true softness with a SD of only 2.8, CV of 15.0,with 0% fibres over 30mic.

N142 is stamping his progeny with size, while carrying finer than average, soft bright wools very similar to himself.

Unfortunately N142 has passed away and there is limited semen available.  

Champion August Shorn Ram Sydney Royal Easter Show 2002

Nerstane’s leading sire. Unfortunately N43 has moved on but he has left his mark here at Nerstane and right across the merino industry.

This ram has performed outstandingly in many flocks across Australia. N43 has been a trait leader in every Central Test Sire Evaluation site that he has been entered in.  

Nerstane 43 as a sire is performing consistently in the show & sale rings.

Langdene 4073 was judged Supreme Ram at Bendigo, then onto NSW ram at Dubbo, and then judged Australian Supreme Merino in 2009. This outstanding ram was a son N43 and weighed 144kg at only 17.0 micron. Congratulations to the Cox family.
 
A Nerstane two tooth ewe who was a daughter of N43 was judged Supreme Exhibit at The Sydney Royal Easter Show. Another daughter who was also a 2 tooth in 2008 was awarded best ewe of the show.

At the Dubbo National a full brother to N57, N59 topped the sale at $29000. The ram was purchased by a syndicate of 5 studs including Trefusis and Beaufront studs in Tasmania and Eilan Donan, Denholm Green, and Mount Widderin studs in Victoria. 

This is the best N2 son that Nerstane has bred, both on looks and progeny figures.

N930 shows great presence. He has a good head with a soft, broad muzzle. This sire has tremendous depth through his flank and body. He has the thickness of his mother who was by N142 and the exceptional, long stapled N2 wool.

The progeny from this sire have also had an influence in the stud. N930 is throwing the nourishment and that unmistakeable depth in the flank into his sons. They have very high fleece weights, low microns/CV , and good figures for staple length & strength. 

Nerstane N404 is the ram on the far right of photo.

N404 is one of Nerstane's fine micron sires that still has size and fleeceweight. On the Sheep Genetics website his progeny are over aveage on bodyweights and fleeceweights, while being in the top 10% of all animals in Australia for fibre diameter.

N404 progeny are large framed, plain and uncomplicated.

This ram throws a bright white wool that is more traditional in the crimp than the normal "good 66's" that Nerstane is known for. 

An older sire who has come into his own again with the wool market pushing cut per head.

Huge fleece weights while maintaining micron in his progeny has always been this sire's trademark.

N286 was proven in many flocks and sire trials with his tops to culls ratios always being well above average. 

This sire has the most impressive record of any ram ever involved in Sire Evaluations. He has proven time after time (joined to super fine, fine or medium wool sheep) that he has the ability to consistently produce high quality progeny with the genetics that breed on.

Nerstane 697's two biggest assets to both the commercial or stud breeder is the fact that he can consistently produce progeny with fine microns while maintaining great fleece weights. The second is the very high percentage of classed tops and very low percentage of classed culls in his progeny.

Nerstane 697 has been used exstensively in NSW, VIC, SA and WA. He continues to perform both under high rainfall and harsher dry pastoral conditions.
