HIGHLANDER

Highlander is a maternal breeding programme which combines fertility and, most importantly, high survival rates to deliver an efficient and profitable maternal ewe system. Look closely, there is more than meets the eye.

The targeted breeding objectives are:

  • Lamb as a hogget
  • Rear two or three lambs as a 2-TH and onwards
  • Longevity
  • Efficiently wean their body weight plus
  • Remain structurally sound
  • Modest ewe weight and input requirements

Underpinning every statistic and procedure are the technical systems and measurements Rissington Breedline adopts to achieve positive outcomes. They include:

  • Survival - increased heritability through accuracy
  • MyoMax - markers for muscling on the leg and rump
  • Parasite resistance & resilience
  • Facial eczema resistance
