Why Meatlinc

“My March 19th onwards born lambs were all sold by the end of August, off grass with no concentrates.”

Henry Rowntree, Clitheroe

"The Meatlinc lambs are fine lambing outdoors off the mule, even with a couple of inches of snow on the ground."

Russel Stephenson, Hexham

“Lambing is much easier, the lambs grow faster and better and more are hitting the top end of our target carcase specification. More than half are now achieving a U classification – previously this was more like 20%.”

Dylan Evans

“Almost all of them finish off grass and clover, and the Meatlinc genetics help them do this.

“We lamb from 1 April and start selling the singles ten weeks later. One third are sold before weaning – the rest are finished by the end of September, at a consistent 19-20kg deadweight. They all grade out at either R 3L or U 3L.”

Alistair Freeland-Cook

"The lambs from HRF9012 were very thrfity at birth and weighed well at 8 and 12 weeks of age. We noticed at the time we were drawing lambs that there seemed to be plenty of MEatlinc sired lambs in the earlier groups when slecting finished lambs."

Mark Excelby

Meatlinc for Easy Lambing

Meatlinc reared lambs have narrow heads and shoulders with plenty of vigour at birth. Lambs are quick to stand and suckle.

This ‘get up and go’ at birth ensures the lambs are very hardy. Lambing outdoors with a high EBV ram for growth and muscle is easily possible with Meatlinc.

Why Meatlinc

Meatlinc Commercial Rams

Henry Fell developed the Meatlinc as a result of not being able to find recorded rams fit for purpose.

All Meatlinc rams are:

Reared off grass
Not over fed
Born in the spring (March/April)
Commercially reared

We rear our rams and evaluate them in an environment similar to that of our commercial customers.
USP – Our rams live longer and serve more ewes.
