The Highlander is a composite maternal breed developed by Focus Genetics to deliver improvements in production and performance. The Highlander is available in the UK exclusively through Innovis.

The Highlander is bred for:

  • Outdoor rearing and easy lambing
  • Prolificacy – can rear an extra 0.19 lambs compared to standard UK crossbreds
  • Vigour
  • Production costs reduced by up to 55p/kg

An ideal closed flock option and will suit you if you want:

  • Reduced cost of production
  • To improve kgs lamb produced per acre
  • To improve efficiency while maintaining the biosecurity benefits of a closed flock
  • A hill cross to make the most of marginal land

This means that all Highlander rams will be, MOT’d, quarantine treated and supplied with full health treatment records.
