ABERBLACK IS AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE MEAT SIRE
Aberblack rams are derived from the highest performing British and New Zealand Suffolk genetics with the introgression of beneficial carcass traits from three other meat breeds. As a robust meat sire, Aberblack rams are bred off grass under commercial conditions and selected for very fast growth rates in lambs. Aberblack sired lambs yield high levels of lean meat and achieve premium slaughter grades, bred from rams that have the ability to cover 80-100 ewes in a season without melting away.
Aberblack will suit your system if you:
- Want to finish all lambs off grass
- Want to produce top quality, premium carcases while reducing the number of days to slaughter
- Want to maximise carcase quality without compromising lambing ease
- Want a dark headed crossing sire with superior meat genetics
Our Aberblack rams stem from two of the top Suffolk Breeders in the UK…
The Aberblack has been developed from specific lines at the Huish and Bentley Flocks, focusing on sheep that can perform off forage. With extensive use of performance recording and introgression of specific traits from other breeds, the Aberblack breeding program is focused on producing rams that can sire very fast–growing carcass lambs, minimising days on farm to hit premium prices. Whilst there have been limited numbers of rams available for sale during the Aberblacks’ product development, this volume will be increased over the coming three years.
