Finnsheep
Finnsheep were first introduced to Australia in 1993 and are now found in small numbers in all southern states. They are among the most fecund in the world, with lambing rates in excess of 200% being common. Combined with inherent leanness and strong maternal traits, they are ideal for producing highly fertile, heavy milking, crossbred mothers capable of rearing large, lean lambs for slaughter.
Finnsheep are polled, with clean faces and points. Their wool is fine to medium quality, white, soft and lustrous.
