Why buy Waidale South Suffolks:

I am an honest, straight up and direct breeder, who will always give you honest answers.  No bullshit or marketing gimmicks at Waidale.

20 years of breeding South Suffolks that meet and perfom to the markets requirement.

Waidale South Suffolks have had an injection of top Waidale Southdown blood, which has resulted in more bone, more spring of rib, more hind quarter, just the one cross has resulted in exceptional muscling.

Waidale South Suffolks have pedigrees that are as accurate as I can get, this accuracy is a result of tagging lambs at birth and not leaving them until tailing.  This accuracy translates into SIL breeding values that have merit and some meaning for you, the client.

Extensive performance recording including weaning weights, 200 day weights, eye muscle scanning and fertility (lambs born, survival, lambs weaned) which assist you in selecting the right rams that will increase your income.
