Roles

We believe the NZ Suffolks will offer UK commercial sheep farmers

Two Opportunities

Terminal Sire

Traditional Suffolk virtues of unbeatable growth

Ability to get ewes in lamb through a very long breeding season – will work early or late

A breed selected to perform off grass will give you lambs that finish off grass.

Meat yields. As one of the longest types of ram available your EasyRam has those extra chops resulting from the longer loin.

Hybrid vigour. Suffolk ewes are rapidly gaining in popularity due to their prolificacy, hardiness and ability to do their lambs well. By running these half Suffolk ewes with EasyRams (NZ Suffolks) you have all the advantages and extra production from HYBRID VIGOUR with none of the disadvantages of getting too pure.

Hybrid vigour. Texel X ewes are also becoming popular. The proven track record of EasyRams makes them ideal sires on Texel ewes ensuring easy lambing and vigour through their shape and high productivity from Suffolk sired lambs.

Ideal ram to use on Lleyns and other easicare ewe breeds.
