McCarthers Flock

I went to visit the oldest merino sheep flock in Australia last week at Camden Park in NSW. These are the original sheep imported to Australia 200 years ago. (their descendants really). these sheep have had little or no outside influence over this time and are a living museum to the original merino.

The interesting thing is these merinos are plain bodied, bare breached, don't require mulsing and don't get fly struck or need drenching. Look what had we done over the past 200 years to ruin the perfect animal.
