Suftex Rams
In 2007, the Paki-iti Suffolk was used as a base for the Suftex breeding flock. This has now been stabilised with the use of Paki-iti Suftex sires and Mount Linton sires. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Suftex rams, we have
continued to increase the number of ewes in this flock .
Our aim is to increase the frequency of the Myomax gene in this flock which is a fast way of putting meat into the sheep, stabilising at double copy Myomax sheep.
These sheep are a combination of Meat from the Texel and Growth from the Suffolk. We have been very impressed with their toughness and ability to handle the Paki-iti hill country wintering policy, with none being culled on their return over the last two years.
