Paki-iti Suftex
"The Suftex as a terminal sire option offers increased meat yields enabling progeny to be drafted at lower finished weights. They also add another option as a very tough terminal sire."
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 with our involvement with the Premier Suftex Group (a group of breeders throughout New Zealand) further bloodlines have been added. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Suftex rams, we have continued to increase the number of ewes in this flock.
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.
