Assessor Comments
Prime lamb breeders, here is a rare opportunity to secure a line of elite first-cross ewe lambs from a specially designed breeding program. 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. Results from the retained April/May 2023 drop ewe lambs when joined in March 2024 (10-11 months old) saw 511 of the 528 head join (only 17 dry) and scanning at 153%, with an average weight at joining of 56.5kg. The ewes have been managed to balance natural growth and production, to allow for a rising plain of nutrition prior to and during joining. These ewes have never been on a self feeder or a mixed ration. The Norrie family has a total of 1000 ewe lambs on offer, with this middle draft of 606 head offered in 3 lines of 202 head.
