We have a breeding flock of approx 25 ewes originally purchased from a range of breeders including some from top show flocks.
This is a large attractive Dutch breed of sheep, they are a docile breed, originally bred as a dual purpose meat and dairy sheep. Ewes average 80kg adult weight and rams 120kg. Easier lambing, they make a good crossing sheep adding frame size, confirmation, milkiness, prolifacy and fast growth rates. The lamb produces a high quality lean meat, and an attractive skin if tanned. The fleece is valued by hand spinners and feltmakers.
