Finn sheep - Worlds Most Fertile Sheep.
$550
Finn ewe and ram lambs available by order for December delivery. All our 2023 ewe lambs, stud ram lambs plus cast-for-age ewes have now gone to new homes. As usual we have created nearly a dozen new flocks this year. Finn sheep (originally from Finland) are a hardy 1,000 year old breed which produce a very high proportion of triplets and quads, so their fertility is over 250%. Crossing with these sheep will (roughly) double your lambing percentages - as well as improving your wool clip - as they are (unusually) a fine longwool breed. Finn ewe and ram lambs for sale by order (25% deposit) from our 2024 lamb drop (for approx December delivery). All sheep $550 each. We have taken orders already - you need to get in quickly now or miss out (again) this year. We usually sell groups of approx ten sheep (eg up to 6 ewes and 4 rams) to satisfy the most customers and create new flocks. We have created dozens of new flocks over the last couple of years. Over the years we have owned several ewes who produced a lifetime record of around 40 lambs! Our Finnsheep will produce crosses which lamb at 200% (ie at least twins) and produce superior wool. Finns are a hardy long-lived short-tailed sheep which do not require tail docking. Their crosses also eliminate wrinkle and the need for mulesing. Crosses can also be selectively bred to eliminate tail docking. They are also often bare-bellied. The animal welfare advantage of these features is obvious. For years our lambs have been pre-ordered up to a year in advance mostly in the past being sold overseas where we continue to receive enquiries. We are now mainly targeting the Australian market. They are in very short supply. We can only create a small number of new flocks per year of this unique breed now that we are retired to a smaller farm and no longer have over 1,000 ewes altogether. Previously we mainly had Finn-Texels which produced over 200% high quality meat lambs which we finished (by the semi-trailer load - see photo) at a remarkable ten lambs per acre on the highly productive Yinnar Flats. We are Australia's original Finn Sheep flock (est. 1981) with over five importations of Finn genetics and over forty years of careful breeding. We are fifth generation farmers. The Finncross is the dominant sheep breed in Europe and increasingly in many other countries.The Finns we have sold to the Middle East produce 6 or more (meat-cross) lambs per year in two lambings in air-conditioned sheds - this method was developed in Iowa over fifty years ago (where some of ours originated). We have produced a handful of White-Suffolk-Fincross lambs ourselves this year for our own table. They are spectacular! Here in Australia our sheep have produced literally millions of descendants mostly Finn-Merinos (but other crosses) whose owners (flocks of 3-10,000 ) are selling on average 185 % lambs to market from them - plus improved wool, often cut twice per year. Our Finns are used in many different composite breeds all over the world (practically all milking sheep are at least 3/8ths Finn for example). Sheep which produce twins are 1000% more profitable than sheep which only have singles. Research proven. All the costs are in that first lamb, but all the profits are in the second.
