Stud Sires

VAG 96111 This ram weighed 140kg at 15 months, with his wool testing 19.3 micron at 12 months. The donor ewes were aged between seven and nine years old, with a history of twinning and white wool.

GJS 1099 This sire and the donor come from one of South Africa’s most respected SAVM Studs and shows fast growth rates and quality white wool. Our initial impression of quality in his progeny has been borne out this year with heavy muscling covered by wool with comfort factor that will assist the commercial F1 ewe breeder to add to their wool cheque.

JC 99 126 This ram has ranked well in Lambplan and has quality mid-micron wool with his progeny showing good weight gain. His semen has been used in a number of interstate SAMM and Merino studs. This ram is now deceased and no further semen will be released.

WY 990216 Used in an AI programme. This sire was sold to the New Zealand Meat Merino Group as part of their foundation SAMM purchases in Western Australia. Jeancourt Studmaster saw him at the SAABCO dispersal sale prior to his leaving for NZ and judged that he had excellent Conformation, together with length ,meat characteristics and a white, acceptable wool. His progeny have made good weight gains in paddock-reared sheep, with 19 out of 20 ewe lambs pregnant at 12 months.

JC 01 146 This ram won as a junior ram at the 2002 Royal Adelaide Show. He has length, weight gain and quality white wool covering. He is typical of the Jeancourt style of SAMM with excellent ‘a’ muscling in his rear end. An ET son of his is one of the NZ meat Merino Group’s younger sires.

JC 99-007 This ram won at the 2003 Royal Adelaide Show. His semen has been exported to NZ, Argentina and Western Australia. He was selected for the stud at seven weeks due to his outstanding growth rates. His midmicron wool is acceptably white but this really is a case of ‘check the carcase’ and not take too much note of the CV- this is definitely wool as a by-product of the meat industry. This ram is now deceased and no further semen will be released.

JC 98-036 This ram is, in our opinion, one of Jeancourt’s top SAMM sires in the Dual Purpose line- he had growth rates of 53kg at 136 days and 87kg at 10 months, with quality conformation and white mid micron wool (last tested in 2002 at 22.5 micron with 98% comfort factor) Given his age he is still robust, and is still used in the stud. He has sired some excellent progeny who are typical of the SAMM we understand we need- fast growing, fertile with wool covering that really is worth shearing. JC 98- 036 died at 10 years old -sired his last lambs at 8 years old.  

HVN 9133 This is a Niekerk sire with a long well muscled body, free growing white wool, designed for consideration by Pastoralists who are thinking of transferring part of their wool production toward a meat focus. The Niekerk SAMMs assume that they will be used in larger pastoral contexts and will need to justify mustering and other associated wool harvesting costs. Initial figures from Lambplan suggest that he has a high SAMM index for both meat and wool

Bigga 02 0029 This is a sire purchased by Tim and Joan Oldfield from Grant Picker’s Bigga SAMM Stud, based at Bigga, NSW. He shows that length, meat quality, together with wool that can be expected to add to the value of a first cross SAMM/Merino ewe flock.

AFJ 1041 This ram won the Junior Ram Championship at Bloemfontein in 2002. He also won the wool Championship. He has a long, lean meaty style of body, with excellent rear muscling. He is currently at stud and has progeny which are fast-growing, well-muscled with acceptable wool

GZ 1001 This ram is another of the typical “Greyling”, or dual-purpose ram, with growth of 137 kg at 14 months. His pedigree includes significant twinning and his covering is acceptably white with excellent comfort factor. Double muscling, good pasterns and shoulders.

 

Embryo Transfer Pregnancies

Prime SAMM embryo transfer pregnancies are only available for sale on contract. Please note that the donor ewes are part of our elite flock and that the genetics are only available as pregnancies as we imported all of the ewes or their dams into Australia from South Africa as embryos. Their dams were selected for fertility, constitution, structure, and also for quality white wool—their sires can be noted in the information section of this website. All pedigrees can be linked to the SAMM Studbook in South Africa so that graziers can source their preferred type of SAMM, be confident that these genetics will assist their stud development programme, and have low inbreeding values. These ewe genetics are not availble otherwise

Notes:
 

  1. Fat scores are not an issue—they, as the sheep are merino, relate to the capacity to survive and reproduce during harder conditions. As seedstock producers, we are aware of this issue but it is not one we are currently using in out EBV’s.
  2. 2. Fertility—this is very important. Nevertheless, as many of our rams and ewes have been the result of ET, we are unable to comment on the base fertility of our sale rams. The current natural lambing of our older SAMM ewe flock, with rigorous predator control, has been 160%. South African commercial SAMM graziers report weaning rates of between 130 and 135%. Beyond this, no further information is available due to different management practices and environments. Clients report weaning rates of 140% in SAMM/Mo cross dams. The MLA sponsored "Prime Lamb Dam" trial - in which we entered JC 98 -046 as sire of first cross ewes had first lambing results of 130% with second and subsequent lambings at 150%. Current (July -September 2008) stud lambing rates vary between the "families" from 150% to 175%   
  3. 3. Wool figures have been taken from the A.W.T.A. figures (test no:3-00195686-S5). They have been posted to show  the SAMM – Merino similarity. All individual wool figures are C and in C. Further, all individual wool figures need to be discussed with the Jeancourt Studmaster Allan Haggett. (Make an appointment to inspect on 0427 713 115).


AWTA Micron and Comfort Factor Data taken from first shearing. Jeancourt would expect that the final adult figures would be +2 to 3 micron.

Additional costs relating to Ram quarantine,vetinary certification, Australian Quarantine certification(AQIS), Shipping, holding tank., plus vetinary processing and labelling, together with insurance and country import costs will relate to the numbers ordered - for minimum numbers we estimate about AUD $50 to $70 per dose cost: These costs are very much contingent upon numbers as fixed costs need to be spread across each dose.

 

Embryos

We charge domestic price plus the above.

Due to the inherent problems of Embryo transfer, no guarantee can be given of supply of embryos from a specific ewe. Jeancourt will supply embryos from a range of selected stud SAMM ewes and will always act “in good faith” in this matter.

Jeancourt Prime SAMM stud has exported stud SAMM ewes to China,  embryos to NZ, and semen to Argentina
