The average gestation period is only 142 days so the lambs are born fairly small. They are born however with great vigour and are on their feet within minutes of birth. The lambs grow well on good pasture and can reach market weight in four to five months.
Sexual maturity comes early with ewe lambs capable of breeding at six to seven months.
The ewes fecundity is high and breeding usually takes place within three weeks of turning rams in. Web Site designed and maintained by Raymond Dignum.
