Overview

A large flock of Royal Whites are pasture ran year around including lambing. Lambing percentages typically hit the 170% mark. Royal Whites were developed and selected for high performance, adaptability, easy care, flocking ability, low stress, non-flightiness, parasite resistance and height to weight proportional frames for better lamb carrying capacity, better meat distribution throughout the body and better browsing attributes. Udders are nicely placed above the ground. They are all hair, highly intelligent for sheep, the ewes excel in mothering ability and protection of their lambs. Hair lambs are cleaned up by mothers fast at birth as compared to other types of ovine, a major plus for lamb survivability, particularly with multiple lambs. Royals can breed year around, thus allowing lamb production to meet certain specific markets at various times of the year.  

Our lambs typically average 1/2lb a day on wheat during the winter. Wether lambs are marketed at around 150 days averaging 75 to 80 pounds.
