The Lamb Plus flock this year consists of 84 breeding ewes. These ewes were mated to 3 LP Sires.
The TGRM program was used to assist the mating, so that each sire was not mated to a ewe of the same out cross breed. (e.g. 1/4 Finn Sire not mated to ¼ Finn ewe )
Sires 60-9019-2000-007114 = ¼ Finn x ¾ Centre Plus
60-9019-2000-007235 = ¼ Rambouillet x ¾ Centre Plus
60-9019-2000-007434 = ½ Dohne x ½ Centre Plus
Ewes 25 ewes = ¼ Rambouillet x ¾ Centre Plus
19 ewes = ¼ SAMM (South African Meat Merino)x ¾ Centre Plus
14 ewes = ¼ Finn x ¾ Centre Plus
6 ewes = ¼ Waridale x ¾ Centre Plus
20 ewes = ½ Dohne x ½ Centre Plus
Total Ewes 84
