Ashrose Poll Merino Stud is owned and operated by Matt Ashby, great-grandson of William Brownlow Ashby and his wife Mary Jane Pluckrose who established Ashrose in 1910 predominantly using Collinsville genetics. The stud is operated in the heart of the Mid North, on properties between Gulnare and Booborowie.

The Ashrose flock breeds durable, large-framed, modern Merinos that cut heavy, deep crimping and soft handling, white wool. Our highly fertile ewes breed predictably, allowing us to develop the stud’s genetic profile ahead of market trends. These attributes contribute to our ability to service our clients across Australia and a wide range of environmental conditions.
