A unique opportunity to buy some elite Prime lamb Ewes
Burrawang White Dorper Stud will be selling over 100 scanned in Lamb Poll Dorset Stud ewes at its on farm sale on February 15th.
Graham Pickles, Burrawang’s Principal bought 1000 of the ewes from the leading Lamplan Poll Dorset stud of Dawson Bradford’s Hillcroft Farm in WA in Dec 2010. The first drop of lambs was over 160% weaning. Burrawang runs 6000 commercial breeding ewes as well as its White Dorper stud and Mr Pickles took advantage of the opportunity to buy the Poll Dorsets which represented over 40 years of Dawson’s careful breeding and selection in order to upgrade the ewe base of his production flock. Burrawang's focus is on shedding meat sheep and as such have a ewe base primarily of 4th and 5th cross ewes from a Merino ewe base using White Dorper rams breed at the on farm stud.
Mr Pickles said the Dorset cross bred lambs are the best and fastest growing lambs he has been able to breed and he is retaining the first cross ewes to continue breeding from and get to a high performance easy care ewe, it normally takes 3 to 4 crosses to come anywhere close to the carcass quality of these sheep coming from the Merino ewe base.
The Ewes are a mixture of 07, 08, 09 drop ewes and will be offered in lots of 50 scanned in lamb to Burrawang stud sire rams. These Ewes are some of the most structurally correct traditional style Poll Dorset ewes we have seen. With a proven record of over 150% weaning, carcass plus index ranging from 165 to 205 averaging around 180 they are an exceptional line of stud ewes that make an outstanding foundation for a prime lamb flock.
Details of scanning results and videos of the ewes will be available on Feb 1st at www.bwswhitedorper.com.au Or for more information call Graham Pickles on 0418112888
