EASYCARE SHEEP

Easycare are the ideal low cost meat sheep for the modern farmer.

Medium sized, hornless, extremely hardy and requiring very little maintenance.

They are characterised by a unique fleece which seasonally sheds.

Ease of lambing and a high lambing ratio are also features of the Easycare breed.

Triplets and even quadruplets are not unusual.

Ewes milk well and are excellent mothers. Lambs are active and alert at birth and grow quickly.

Rams are virile and hardy and can cover large numbers of ewes.

THE PROFITABLE COMMERCIAL OPTION AND PERFECT CHOICE FOR THE SMALLHOLDER

No shearing or crutching and a low propensity for diseases such as foot rot combine to minimise veterinary and shepherding costs.

Easycare meat is of the highest quality – light in texture, fine grained, lean and with an exceptional taste.

Scrapie resistance: All registered rams are ARR type 1 or 2.

Average adult weights are 75kg for rams and 55kg for ewes.
