Beltex is primarily a terminal sire to cross with
British sheep and half-bred continental sheep. The breed's main
characteristics are double-muscled hindquarters, coupled with fine
bones. This ensures maximum killing-out percentage of the finished
lamb.
Finished lambs yield a high killing out percentage
and a carcase with well-fleshed legs, good eye muscle and a long
loin. The finished lamb is sought after for its superior conformation
both in the home and export market.
Why Beltex?
tighter wool protection from the elements quick to suckle less labour intensive at birth
