Valley Vista 240158 was the winning Stockscan Performance Ram at the Australasian Dorset Championships in September, with a muscle depth of 64mm and muscle width of 124mm.
Early growth and plenty of muscle will be more essential than ever for profitable prime lamb production this season, as many producers come off the back of tough seasonal conditions.
Valley Vista Poll Dorset and White Suffolk rams are renowned for just that, with a 300g/day growth rate the benchmark for rams to remain in the sale flock.
The Scott family run 1200 stud Poll Dorset and White Suffolk ewes alongside a commercial cattle herd at Coolac, and a 1600 head Merino flock at Tarcutta, where they can test their genetics to ensure producers can get lambs as heavy as possible as early as possible and straight off of mum.
The focus is on early growth and muscle, and the rams are proven to breed outstanding progeny across a variety of flocks, including Merino ewes, which are a majority of the ewes Valley Vista rams go to.
Extensive data collection is a priority at Valley Vista to ensure as much accurate information can be provided to clients as possible.
The rams you purchase in 2026 will produce lambs into the years to come, and demand is projected to remain strong after the volume of sheep that have left the flock this year.
The value of Australian export lamb was a record amount of more than $4 billion in 2024-25, and historically high volumes heading offshore.
Domestically, the market is firing now the spring has brought more much needed moisture, with confidence in the sheep and lamb sector going from strength to strength.
You can make sure you are in the box seat to capitalise on the historic results by choosing rams that breed lambs with the traits you get paid for – early growth, consistency and plenty of muscle.
Valley Vista’s next on-property sale will be held at Coolac on Friday 9 January 2026 and interfaced with AuctionsPlus. The stud will offer 80 rams, with a majority autumn 2025-drop.
