Welcome to
Rutland Fast Rams
Fastest Growing Rams
Fit not fat
Ready to work
In very simple terms we need rams to have the highest potential to grow as fast as possible on what ever system you are running whether creep or grass. If you are on grass and have a very dry period in the season, lambs with high genetic potential have the ability to grow very fast when conditions change and grass and roots burst into life as last autumn.
The other crucial requirement is that rams do not lose condition during the tupping season and will then last for many years. Our hybrid rams have the vigour to achieve both these attributes. Our rams are not fed any hard food when we pull them out from the ewes. When I go to ram sales I’m still staggered by how fat rams are when presented and how buyers pay the highest prices for the fattest rams, they can only melt. We have full confidence in our rams which are guaranteed to the end of November in the year of purchase. We start to feed our shearling rams in June so that they are in ideal condition for tupping in September.
We continue to seek the highest Index Suffolk and Texel rams available and this autumn we have bought one of each breed to add to our genetics stock.
Register your interest
We will be taking bookings from people who are interested in buying our very high Index rams direct from our farm. You will be able to view from July onwards giving you plenty of time to make your choices.
Anyone who buys a ram will retain their priority for future years. We will have again some pure Registered Suffolk Shearling Rams for Sale next year and our tag line will be altered to reflect this.
