World
markets today demand that we deliver a consistent product
all year round to the consumer. Damaras allow this by
reducing maintenance costs of the meat sheep enterprise
enabling producers to run large flocks and produce lambs
all year round. Meatmaster sheep can be crossed with
the second and third Damara crosses to fine-tune the
carcass qualities. This gives better breed performance
and greater growth characteristics.
The
Damara’s uniqueness is that it rapidly brings any breed
of sheep into quality parameters.
