Six Easy Care rams have been purchased by Shrewsbury-based Farmgene Ltd. from Co. Antrim flock owner Campbell Tweed.
They will be joined by 30 ewes from the same flock with the intention of producing high quality embryos for the New Zealand market.
The embryos will be exported from the UK to the southern hemisphere once all relevant health checks have been carried out.
Campbell Tweed told
Agriland:
“The rams left the farm last Thursday evening. Their purchase is the first of its kind by Farmgene.
“There is a growing demand for Easy Care sheep in New Zealand. As is the case here, it is becoming harder to secure the staff required to run farming businesses efficiently in that country.

Sheep Ireland uses the central progeny test (CPT) flocks to assess the performance of sheep in a commercial setting and to validate the €uro-Star ratings.
The results of this validation work,which was carried out in 2019 and is summarised in Table 1, showed that progeny from five-star terminal rams had 4.9% less lambing difficulty, were 2.1kg heavier at 40 days of age and were 2.6kg heavier at weaning.
These findings highlight the additional gains that can be made with regard to lambing difficulty, which will reduce lamb mortality and labour, while the gains in lamb performance will reduce the days to slaughter of the lambs and reduce the overall cost of production.
