Ons is in die Wesselsbrondistrik in die Noordwes-Vrystaat geleë. Dit is hoofsaaklik saaiwêreld. Weidingsbestuur bestaan hoofsaaklik uit aangeplante weidings vir ooie met lammers. Dit is, onder andere, groenvoere, hawer en weimielies. Dragtige ooie loop op natuurlike weidings. Wat ons dekseisoen betref – ons paar die ooie regdeur die jaar, maar in dekseisoene. Die ramme sal 35 dae by die ooie wees, waarna hulle vir 30 dae sal rus. Hierdie proses herhaal homself regdeur die jaar.

Sedert 2008 het die Meatmasterras my baie geprikkel. Ek wou meer weet van hierdie ekstensiewe ras. Die saadjie is geplant en in 2012 is die Red Ribbon Meatmasterstoet gestig.

Lammers word op die ouderdom van 100 dae gespeen. Speengewigte wissel volgens die seisoen waarin die lammers moet grootword. Gewigte wissel van 30 tot 35 kg. Die Meatmaster het sonder twyfel ons verwagtinge en kennis van skaapboerdery oortref. Die ras doen baie goed in hierdie omgewing. Dit is veral opvallend hoeveel lammers gebore word, en meerlinge is aan die orde van die dag. Wat egter die boeke laat klop, is die groot hoeveelheid lammers wat suksesvol op 100 dae gespeen word.

Meatmasterooie is uitstekende moeders en sal alles doen om hul lammers te beskerm en groot te maak. Die Meatmaster is by uitstek die ras vir die toekoms!

Red Ribbon

We are located in the Wesselsbron District in the north-western Free State. It is primarily a crop-farming area. Pasture management consists mainly of planted pastures for ewes with lambs. These include green fodder, oats and grazing maize. Pregnant ewes graze on natural pastures.

Since 2008, the Meatmaster breed has excited me very much. I wanted to know more about this extensive breed. The seed was sown and in 2012, the Red Ribbon Meatmaster Stud was founded.

With regard to our mating season – we mate ewes throughout the year, but in mating seasons. The rams will join the ewes for 35 days and then rest for 30 days. This process repeats itself throughout the year.

Meatmasters must have a percentage Damara blood.

£ Costs as low as possible! £ Income as high as possible! = Maximum profit!

The Meatmaster is a composite breed, developed in South Africa, as a totally new and unique breed, that distinguishes itself under extensive farming conditions all over South Africa.

What is the Meatmaster?

It is bred as a non-fat-tailed, hair-type meat sheep, with easy care and management.

Petty conformation aspects are being ignored, with the focus on economic factors.

It offers farmers an alternative, with unique characteristics, to meet the need of a huge market in South Africa and around the world.

• Reproduction – fertile and exceptional interlambing periods

• Natural intelligence

• Easy births

Characteristics of the breed:• Very good mothers

Meatmaster ewes are excellent mothers and will do everything to protect and raise their lambs.The Meatmaster is the perfect breed for the future!

Lambs are weaned at the age of 100 days. Weaning weights vary due to the season in which the lambs have to grow. Weights range from 30 to 35 kg.The Meatmaster has surely exceeded our expectations and knowledge of sheep farming. This breed is doing very well in the area. It is especially noticeable how many lambs are born, and multiples are the order of the day. However, what balances the books is the large number of lambs that are successfully weaned at 100 days.
