Why you should use a Dorset Down
|
|
|
Superior converter of energy, requiring minimal inputs
to produce export quality, early maturing lamb. |
|
|
High growth rates to E
U R at 2-3 L at 18 kg carcass weight.
Lambs will be finished at these specifications from 10 weeks. |
|
|
Can be used on Hill and
Half-bred ewes with confidence, while difficult lambing cases will be
eliminated. |
|
|
Ideal for extensive
and organic farming systems, as well as conservation managed land. |
|
|
Stands up to weather
conditions in any part of the British Isles. |
|
|
Crossed with the
Half-bred ewe, lambs can be brought up to heavier weights for the store
trade and still remain lean. |
|
|
Docile and biddable. |
