Video: Selecting Breeding Rams: Why Good Breeding Stock Is Important!

Selecting breeding stock for your sheep farm is extremely important for so many reasons and in today's sheep farming vlog, we will discuss breeding rams in particular. In our case, this means registered Polled Dorset and Suffolk rams but the reasoning applies to any breed be it registered or commercial rams. A good flock sire has the ability to affect the outcome of your lambs, replacement ewes, as well as your bottom line in increased weight gains and muscling on your lambs which will translate into more profits at market and therefore the money in your pocket. Join us as we explain why we consider a good ram to be a crucial asset on anyone's sheep farm.
