2025 Season Update
The 2025 season has delivered strong growth and momentum across the flock. Favourable conditions have laid the foundation for an impressive team of sale rams, who are thriving on crop and showing great conformation, style, and consistency.
A highlight this year was taking out Reserve Champion Ewe at the Wellington Show, a rewarding result that reflects the strength of our ewe line.
We’re currently in the thick of lambing, following strong scanning results. With three Lynwood sires joined this season, we’re excited to see their influence coming through. And in a small but satisfying upgrade—we’ve got a new sign at the front gate!
Upcoming Sale – 1st October 2025
Preparations are well underway for our on-property sale on Wednesday, 1st October. This year’s rams are coming into excellent condition, with strong growth and even development. We’re focused on finishing them well and look forward to presenting a quality draft that we’re proud of.

LYNWOOD BORDER LEICESTERS
PROUDLY OWN AND RUN BY THE PARKES FAMILY
The stud was purchased in January 2010 followed by joining on Australia Day with sires Retallack’s Another Boss” D8826, Victorian Sire “Long Tom”, D7560 from the Raywill Stud and Chain of Ponds Stud sires F1465 and F1466.
After 15 years of genetic refinement, our program remains focused on the performance traits that drive success in Border Leicester Stud breeding. We select rams for early growth, adaptability and weight-for-age, alongside balanced carcase shape—with emphasis on muscling, fat cover and structural soundness. Wool remains a key priority, with attention to density, character, and softness, alongside a micron that complements both Merino ewes and the first-cross wool market. We maintain evenness across the line, while prioritising temperament and longevity. The result is a consistent line of functional, fertile rams bred to deliver lasting value in commercial first-cross ewe enterprises.

Our goal is to breed a even line of rams with excellent growth for age, structural soundness with dense soft-handling wool.
