Alma has kept the same breeding objectives for over 60 years, resulting in the creation of an iconic bloodline known for its repeatability and reliability. Genetics suited to their breeding goals are sourced from and Glenville Merino Stud (Poll Merinos) and Collinsville Merino Stud (Merino Sires), both located in South Australia.
