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 9 breeders from the South Island) 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.
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.
