Kathryn McRae began adding Australian wool bloodlines to her commercial Targhees in 1986 with the purchase of a Polwarth ram from Australia. Several years later she began using Cormo rams from Heinrich Ortmann, and lately from Rebecca McEuen. The Polwarth, Cormo, and Targhee are all three-quarter fine wool and one-quarter coarse wool crosses.
Kath breeds 6-year-old registered Targhee ewes (about 30 head) from McRae Brothers’ Targhees to a Cormo ram. The family ranch uses a few of the half-blood rams in their commercial sheep and neighbors purchase the rest. These yearling ewes are three quarter purebred Targhee and one quarter Cormo. They were born in April 2024 and sheared in late March 2025. The wool is 20 micron with a yield of 55-60% depending on the year.
