British milk sheep

The aim of using this race in the center:

The increase in milk yield and fertility of domestic sheep through the crossing in one or two generations. Followed by the use of meat-type terminal-sires (Suffolk, Texel or IDF are recommended in this order) to correct meat production. Requires a commitment of the farmers, but provides faster turn-over (up to double meat production compared to traditional).

Sheep have good potential for milking and excellent fertility traits. The owner can choose a profile of production: with or without milking.
