Sustainable
Our aim is to produce a low input, low maintenance & fertile sheep with a high-quality fleece maximising profitability & creating ease of breeding & day-to-day management.
Maternal
Boxleigh Park females are the backbone of our operation. A strong bodied Ewe that is fertile with unsurpassable wool becomes our ultimate breeding package. We believe a quality female line is the epitome of sheep & livestock breeding & have worked hard over the years to create infallible females that are proven breeders.
Stylish
Most of Boxleigh Park’s top Sires have been bred from strong genetics within the stud, resulting in a naturally predictable and replicable pattern of consistency and our distinctive look and type.
Over generations of breeding, Boxleigh Park genetics have been refined to support solid carcass traits while maintaining an excellent wool quality. This has enabled us to breed a versatile animal that is attractive to many markets.
Shearing takes place after weaning and before lambing at six-month intervals as a result of a fast-growing fibre.
There are many benefits resulting from shearing six monthly which include:
• increased cash flow
• elimination of coloured, cotted, and tender wool lines
• higher fleece to pieces ratio
• minimisation of the need to crutch
• allowing Ewes to be joined and lamb in short wool
• spreads wool marketing risk
• same shearing calendar dates every year
