BreedersBEST Kojak (Composite)
BreedersBEST has introduced a composite range to its suite of non-shearing breeds, heralding an unprecedented genetic opportunity to sheep producers, aptly branded the BreedersBEST Kojak.
Composite breeds have been a boom for the New Zealand sheep industry and by comparison, Australia has been slow to grab this advantage. The process of combining the preferred attributes of different breeds, and the resulting hybrid vigour, has seen composite breeds, with an emphasis purely on production, dominate livestock breeding systems worldwide.
BreedersBEST aims to produce an easy care sheep requiring minimal labour input, whilst maximizing lamb production profitability.
Our composite genetics program is now in its third year of development, building on a foundation of the best available White Dorper and Wiltipoll genetics.
Apart from the obvious gains through hybrid vigour, non-shearing composite genetics from BreedersBEST will deliver:
- Increased fertility and fecundity
- Improved larger carcasses with less fat
- Improved structural confirmation, especially feet
- Increased rate of shedding (less generations required to achieve total shedding)
- Easier confinement
