The Poll Dorset is a short wool, meat producing sheep that was developed in Australia between 1937 and 1954 with the aim of breeding a true Dorset type sheep without horns.
 The poll gene was introduced into Dorset Horn flocks from two other polled breeds and following a strict back-mating programme achieved close to 100% of Dorset Horn blood.
 Its main distinguishing features are its hornless appearance, long, lean square body set on short legs, pink skin and 'spongy' short-stapled wool.
 The Poll Dorset produces a fleece of white, dense downs type wool of 30 microns fibre diameter and it has a white wool-free face.
 The breed was developed at a property called "Valmore" in Whitemore, Tasmania, a noted centre for pedigree livestock stud farms.
 The Poll Dorset resulted from the introduction of Corriedale and Ryeland blood into the Dorset Horn.

 In Australia, sheep stations are usually in the south-east or south-west of the country.

 These properties may be thousands of square kilometres in size and run low stocking rates to be able to sustainably provide enough feed and water for the stock.
Polwarth is a breed of sheep that was developed in Victoria (Australia) during 1880.
 They were of one-quarter Lincoln and three-quarters Merino bloodlines.
 They are large, predominantly polled sheep with long, soft, quite fine wool and produce good meat carcasses.
 They were developed in an attempt to extend the grazing territory of sheep because the Merino was found lacking in hardiness in this respect.
 A dual-purpose (meat and wool) breed with a major emphasis on wool production.
The Drysdale breed of sheep originated in New Zealand and is raised primarily for wool.
 Dr. Francis Dry in 1931 noticed a genetic freak, a Romney ram with a high percentage of very coarse wool.
 Crossing two Romneys and Cheviots resulted in a sheep with a lot of coarse, Wool|fleece]] is about 6 kg with a 40 microns fibre diameter and a staple of 200 to .
 The coarse wool gene causes both male and female Drysdales to be horned.
 The male's horn resembles a Wiltshire ram's horn whereas the ewes horns are very small- usually only 8 to in length.
 weight 60-70 kgs live weight
Corriedale sheep are a dual purpose breed, meaning they are used both in the production of wool and meat.
