Feature Breed

The Australian Sheep & Wool Show will feature Border Leicesters in 2010.

Over many years the Border Leicester has been proven to be an important maternal breed in Australia. First cross Border Merino ewes are sought after by leading lamb producers across the country because of their ability to produce large numbers of high quality lambs over a wide range of climatic conditions.

Through a mix of new and traditional methods Border Leicester breeders are continuing to grow the breed as a vital part of Australia’s lamb industry.
