Signet Sheepbreeder
Many Suffolk breeders use the Signet Sheepbreeder recording scheme. Ultrasonic scanning has shown the Suffolk to regularly produce high eye muscle depths. And it is a Suffolk ram which holds the Signet all breeds record of 49mm in June 1999.
The exceptional growth rate of the Suffolk contributes to their outstanding performance and popularity as the leading terminal sire in the British Isles.
Ultimately the Suffolk's rapid growth rate unlocks potential and opportunity for quick production of lean meat with minimum costs, with carcass weights of lambs averaging 18kg - 21kg at slaughter.
