Getting the best from FINE and STRONG woolled breeds

Use over STRONG woolled flocks

"Ile de France sired lambs drafted to the works much earlier with more hitting carcass yield targets than by our previous maternal breed. Just what we need in our summer dry country."

Hamish Carswell- Dunback, East Otago

Use over FINE woolled flocks


"After 3 years in comparison with a terminal breed, the Ile de France lambs weaned 3 to 5 kilos heavier, so drafted to the works at twice the rate. Their half bred ewe hoggets averaged 21 to 22 micron fleeces out of 17.5 micron ewes."
