Aim Of The Breeding Programme
Increase efficiency of both slaughter lamb and wool production.
Breeders are obliged to ensure that genetically superior and environmentally well-adapted animals are continuously available to the industry.
Hardiness And Adaptability
In all breeds which have to produce and reproduce under adverse or sub-optimum environments, hardiness and adaptability are of paramount importance.
Why is the Afrino hardy and adaptable?
1. Wool production is only 3 - 4 % of its body weight.
2. Selection of breeding sires and dams takes place under the same conditions than those in which
their offspring have to produce and reproduce.
