AUSTRALIAN Texel breeders could have the opportunity to sell their genetics to New Zealand studs.

Eight New Zealand Texel studs will be attending this years Australian Sheep and Wool Show in a bid to learn more about Australian genetics.

Australian Texel Stud Breeders Association president Peter Russell said the Texel breed were the feature breed at this years show attracting the New Zealand studs to Australia.

I met some New Zealand breeders when I was judging at the Canterbury Show in Christchurch last year, Mr Russell said.

We spoke about the national showing and they were intrigued.

Now a group of them, about 15 people representing eight studs are coming across.

Mr Russell said Texel genetics were usually bought in from Europe but this would be a good opportunity for Australian breeders to show the attributes of their genetics.

The Australian Sheep and Wool Show will be held in Bendigo from July 19-21.
