Assessor Comments
Prime lamb breeders, here is a rare opportunity to secure a line of elite first-cross ewe hoggets from a specially designed breeding program which are already scanned in lamb to top quality Poll Dorset rams. The Norrie family has spared no expense to produce highly fertile ewes with a focus on high growth, high eye muscle and optimum fat cover. The vendors use these ewes in their own 2nd cross lamb breeding operation targeting sucker production, so have the unique ability to assess the performance of these ewes first-hand. Ewes are scanned in lamb at 152% to Ridgehaven and Woodstock Poll Dorset rams, to lamb from approx. the first week of March. These ewes have been managed to balance natural growth and production, in line with the vendor's retained ewes. They have never been on a self feeder or a mixed ration. The vendors have retained sufficient ewes from the April/May 2023 drop so are offering these spring drop ewes for sale. The Norrie family also has 1000 ewe lambs in this sale.
