White Suffolk

Stirling End White Suffolk Stud was founded in 2016 with the purchase of quality white Suffolk stud ewes from well-established studs. This strong foundation has enabled us to progress our breeding focus to produce fast growing, structurally correct, early maturing easy lambing animals that will make a positive production impact. By visual selection as well as DNA sampling and Lambplan, we are able to compare our performance with studs’ nationwide.

Breeding Aims:

  • Well structured animals through visual selection on clean points, smooth front shoulders, body length, straight top line with sound feet and legs.

  • Optimising Lambplan data through weighing lambs at birth, collecting weights throughout growth, muscle and fat scanning at 9 months of age and worm resistance.

  • Productivity : Easy care lambing ewes by recording lambing data at birth. Selecting early maturing, highly fertile, good temperament mothers and low to average birthweight lambs with fast growth.

  • Animal health : all rams are vet checked and brucellosis tested before sale day every year.
