Highlander

The Highlander breeding programme was established over 20 years ago in New Zealand to create a feed efficient sheep, bred to consistently deliver more kilograms of lamb weaned per ewe mated than purebreds. The UK Highlander is bred by Innovis, working in close partnership with Focus Genetics in New Zealand.
