Dit is nog bloedig warm hier in die Swartland en ons het sopas klaar gepars aan die wyndruiwe en lamtyd is alweer op hande. Ons hoop maar dit raak 'n bietjie koeler as die skaap oor twee weke begin lam en 'n bietjie water van bo sal ook nie sleg wees nie want dit is maar droog en die kos is maar min.
Ewan Louw started his stud in 2005 after he had excellent results in slaughter lamb competitions that he entered since 2001. Lambs are normally ready for marketing at the age of 120-140 day at which point they will weigh 40kg-45kg and easily achieve a slaughter percentage of 52%-58%. Rams as well as young ewes are for sell from the farm. Nuweland Dormers pride itself in the fact that their rams are not overfed and they only receive extra feed as necessary in the dry season. The results are a ram that is not overfed and won’t loose its condition during the mating season therefore what you see is what you get. Nuweland dormers are a member of the Dormer Sheep Breeders Society of SA.
