What Are Australian White Sheep?

The Australian White sheep breed was developed through the combined efforts of Highveld International, Tattykeel and Baringa sheep stud operations. They are a meat sheep breed made to thrive in Australia's climate, while also filling in the gaps in the lamb market's demands.

The high reproductive capabilities of the breed's ewes and rams allow them to be run as a self-replacing flock. This means minimal maintenance for encouraging breeding and a higher output of quality lambs each spring.

FAQs

Do Australian White Sheep Need Shearing?

The shedding ability of Australian Whites removes the need for shearing, making the livestock easy to maintain and manage.

Are Aussie White Sheep Good Eating?

There is a high percent of fat marbling on Aussie Whites, which is also often soft and unsaturated. This high quality meat makes the sheep good eating, enough that they are often referred to as the 'wagyu' of lamb meat.

What is the Easiest Sheep to Keep in Australia?

Australian Whites are the easiest sheep to keep in Australia as they are suitable for any climate. Paired with their rapid growth rate and lack of shearing, even inexperienced farm owners can find themselves raising a healthy flock.

What is the Friendliest Sheep Breed?

While Aussie Whites have a quiet temperament, they are not as docile or human-friendly as the Ryeland and the Southdown breeds. The latter two are renowned for being friendly to most humans.

What Are the Disadvantages of the Aussie White Sheep?

Due to being bred for optimal lamb meat production, there are few disadvantages of rearing Aussie Whites as livestock. However, their heavier build may be intimidating to some, especially if a sheep does not have the usual docility.
