Change the game.
In a changing sheep industry, what can you do to increase profitability?
Highly productive, profit-generating sheep enterprises rely on multiple revenue streams, such as lamb sales, wool sales and surplus breeder ewe lamb and ewe sales. Maximising each of these elements in the one genetic package allows sheep producers to increase profitability without increased effort.
The Redbank FX breeding program is packaging the best of composite maternal sheep production, with finer wools and better wool quality. With this combination, producers can increase their marketing options for their sheep. Such as:
1) Prime lamb sales (fast growth and high muscling allows lambs to be sold prime as suckers or off feeders).
2) Surplus ewe lambs (empty or scanned in lamb) - sell what you dont need as future breeders to other producers at a premium over processor prices.
3) Surplus older ewes (empty or scanned in lamb) - with large numbers of replacement ewe lambs coming through, sell older ewes whilst they still have a few years breeding in them and acheive a premium over mutton prices.
