Damara Sheep
The Damara is a unique breed of meat sheep ideally suited to our Australian climate.
Damaras originated in East Asia & Egypt circa 3000BC and were introduced to Australia from South Africa in 1996. They have adapted to extreme climates and harsh environments as they have migrated to many countries.
Damara Sheep tolerate heat well and are able to walk long distances, making use of feed away from watering points. They have been performing successfully in wheatbelt regions and pastoral country of Australia. Damaras can be adapted to existing farming infrastructures and provide an excellent commercial opportunity to increase meat production and live export into alternative world markets.
