UltraWhite Rams
UltraWhites are a modern sheep breed that are focused on meat production and eating quality. The breed is considered an ‘easy-care’ sheep breed that naturally sheds its wool (no shearing), allowing the animal to put all its energy into growth and carcase traits. UltraWhite ewes are also excellent mothers with high fertility and mothering abilities.
Marigold Lamb carefully sources genetics from the founding stud (Hillcroft Farms), focusing on carcase, growth, welfare, fertility and structural traits to produce sheep that flourish in the high rainfall environment of the Preston Valley.
We also breed our own rams from the top-performing animals in the flock, with careful measurement and recording of information on these sheep from birth.
