Breeding Ideology

Innovative sheep breading breeding ideology of performance lleyns and prolleyNZ

At Innovative Sheep Breeding our breeding ideology is governed by what you, the commercial sheep farmer, want. You want more profitable sheep genetics!


If you are already breeding your ewe replacements and possibly selling your excess, you need superior rams with a maternal bias. Tups that are sufficiently unrelated to your flock ewes.


If you are not breeding your own replacements ewes but are thinking about doing so allow us to demonstrate the virtues and help you overcome the additional complexity.


The primary and overwhelming advantages of breeding your ewes are:-

Biosecurity

Not bringing in sheep diseases, some of which could put you out of business.


Genetic control

Take your sheep in the direction that best suits you and your sheep enterprise, improving your flock’s performance annually.

Not paying over the odds for your ewe replacements.

Mules etc., don’t get any better but are given “makeovers” to add value.

You should feel free to ring us on 07970 773840 for advice on how to close your flock by not buying in females.


There is also a useful resource at Replacement options for sheep breeding


If you are wondering how to buy a recorded ram for maternal traits, there are two valuable resources available below:

Breeding superior genetics is not that simple. It takes years of dedication, commitment and innovation with the right skillset and ideology. Not to mention selecting the best possible starting points. We believe we have all that at Innovative Sheep Breeding. We can help you raise the Profitability of your flock because we concentrate on the key profit drivers.
