AUSTRALIAN DOHNE MERINOS ON THE WORLD STAGE!
Great to see former Australian Dohne Breeders' Association President Greg Hall sharing an Australian perspective at the 2026 World Dohne Merino Conference in South Africa!
Greg caught up with Farmer's Weekly SA journalist Glenneis Kriel to discuss the conference, the future of wool production and the important role Dohne Merinos play in Australian sheep farming.
A fantastic opportunity to showcase the versatility, productivity and dual-purpose benefits of the Dohne Merino breed, while strengthening connections with our international Dohne community.
Well done, Greg, and thank you for continuing to promote Australian Dohne Merinos on the world stage!

FLEECE ASSESSMENT IN ACTION!
Greg Hall from the Australian Dohne Breeders' Association (ADBA) runs through the fleece assessment process with teachers Melissa Hughes Condobolin High School and Chelsea Reeve Red Bend Catholic College at the 2026 Community Bank Gilgandra & Central West Bendigo Bank NSW Dohne Prime Lamb Schools Competition
The session provided valuable insights into the key characteristics of a quality Dohne Merino fleece, including wool quality, fibre diameter, staple length, strength and overall fleece presentation.
A great opportunity for teachers to gain further knowledge and understanding of fleece assessment, helping them support their students in developing practical skills and an appreciation of the wool industry.
