Adina Merino Stud was registered in 1986 and breeding quality Merinos is both the business and the passion of long time local family Ray and Margaret, James and Jules Barron.

Over the years, the aim has been to maintain micron without sacrificing fleece weight or fertility.

Adina Merino rams are run on the tough Monaro, they have hardy constitutions with fine-medium wool on large frames. Adina sheep have become renowned for their heavy cutting and superior long wool qualities.

Ray and James continue to see the benefits of selective mating, using sires not only from within the stud but also sourcing sires from leading studs to introduce new and desirable genetics to assist in achieving long term goals.

In 2011, Adina registered a Poll Merino Stud and this year Merino and Poll Merino Rams will be again offered in the sale team.

This year, Adina Merino Stud will offer 40 one-year-old rams for auction and the principals are extremely happy with the growth, handle and wools of the sale team.

From the sale team, mid-side samples have been taken and tested in August 2024, all rams to be offered for sale are Brucellosis accredited, vendor declared footrot free, classified Monitored Negative (3V) status under the National Johnes Program and in addition they are 15th generation Johnes vaccinated.
