Features

Beltex – The Key Terminal Sire

Prospects for sheep farmers are looking positive in a strengthening marketplace for lighter lamb, according to Isaac Crilly. However, if these producers are to counter soaring input costs and achieve a sustainable enterprise for the future, then he says they will have focus on maximising output per ewe from low input systems.

Beltex: improved performance + efficiency = better returns

If you want to improve your flock’s overall performance and efficiency new season, and also achieve better returns, then talk to Oliver Brannigan. A couple of years ago, Oliver swapped two different Continental terminal sires for the Beltex to use over his Blackface flock. [more]

Brown, Bessbrook

David Brown, Bessbrook, Co Down was among the first to bring Beltex to Northern Ireland. In the early 90’s he decided to try his hand at pedigree sheep breeding and with this in mind he attended a pedigree Texel sale to acquire his first pedigree sheep. [more]
