Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our achievement of two consecutive years of 5-star data quality from Sheep Genetics.

 

Our mission at Kentish Downs is to drive our clients' success and profitability through rigorous breeding practices and advanced data analysis. We leverage top-tier Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBV) and meticulous visual assessments to maintain the highest standards of sustainability and ethical responsibility in our breeding program.

 

We focus on enhancing traits that boost profitability across the entire Prime Lamb supply chain. By rigorously testing our genetics within our own share-farmed flocks, we achieve significant improvements in areas such as dystocia, lambing ease, lamb vigor, and maternal behavior.

 

Our Poll Dorset genetics are engineered for excellence, producing structurally sound sheep with impressive early growth, substantial eye muscle depth, high post-weaning weights, and superior lean meat yield.

 

In 2024, we are excited to offer a selection of top-tier Poll Dorset rams, each supported by detailed Australian Sheep Breeding Values. These rams are designed to meet market needs and align with your specific breeding objectives, ensuring continued success in the evolving sheep industry.

Kentish Downs is renowned for blending decades of experience with the latest breeding technology.

 

Our comprehensive techniques—including birth weighing, fat and muscle scanning, Lambplan recording, progeny testing, genomics testing, and Matesel breeding optimization—enable us to achieve rapid genetic gains. With artificial insemination and precise sire-to-ewes matching, we ensure the highest standards of genetic performance, with sires in the top 1% of the Lambplan database for Terminal Carcase Production Index for 2024.
