The
Beltex is a terminal sire breed which is sought after for its
double-muscle and the hindquarters which are its outstanding
feature. The high heritability of these traits ensures that
the Beltex X lamb yields a high killing-out percentage from
a fine-boned carcase with full gigots, good eye-muscle, meaty
shoulder and a long loin, making it a premium product for the
home and export markets.
