Rebuilding Flocks with High Fertility Maternal Lines
One constant is climate variability where droughts can challenge even the hardiest of sheep, breeders seek resilient solutions. ProBreed, a trusted name in the industry, offers three distinct ram lines: ProBreed Maternal; ProBreed Plus; and ProBreed Terminal. Let's explore how high fertility maternal rams play a crucial role in rebuilding flocks after droughts.
1. The PROBREED MATERNAL Line
Self Replacing Fertility:
The ProBreed Maternal line is a beacon of fertility. Ewes within this lineage consistently produce healthy lambs, ensuring the flock's continuity.
Adaptability:
These rams thrive in diverse conditions. Their ability to conceive and rear lambs efficiently makes them ideal for rebuilding flocks post-drought.
2. The PROBREED PLUS Line
Performance Merino Infusions:
The ProBreed Plus combines the best of both worlds. By infusing performance merino genetics, it achieves lower micron wool without compromising maternal traits.
Dual Purpose:
These rams contribute to both wool and meat production. Their adaptability allows breeders to rebuild their flocks while maintaining wool quality.
3. The PROBREED TERMINAL Line
Meat Excellence:
The ProBreed Terminal line focuses on meat production. These rams deliver rapid early growth and superior meat quality.
Easy Lambing:
Their genetics ensure smooth lambing, minimising stress during critical periods.
High Fertility Maternal Rams:
Fast Recovery:
After a drought, rebuilding flocks swiftly is essential. High fertility maternal rams play a pivotal role with shorter breeding intervals. These rams reduce the time between lambing seasons.
More Lambs Per Annum:
Ewes conceive sooner, leading to more lambs per year.
Their genetics favour multiple births.
More lambs mean faster flock replenishment.
Healthy Lambs:
High fertility rams produce robust lambs, increasing survival rates.
A Numbers Game:
As management has moved to capture the opportunity that higher fertility ewes possess our industry leading maternal lines place most producers in the best position to rebuild flocks cost effectively.
As droughts test our resolve, ProBreed Rams stand strong.
Whether it's the Maternal, Plus, or Terminal line, their genetics empower breeders to rebuild with confidence. Let's celebrate our high fertility maternal rams, rebuilding our flocks, one lamb at a time.
