 The Wiltipoll is a
new breed of sheep, recently developed in
Australia from the Wiltshire Horn. It is a
polled sheep that is bred for the production of
prime lamb only. It's short white fleece is shed
annually, from Spring to Summer, where it falls
to the ground and is of no commercial value.
The advantages of the Wiltipoll are that
their resources are directed towards the
production of meat and milk - not wool, that
costs are cut dramatically, and that there is no
need for shearing, crutching, jetting, dipping
or mulesing. These sheep are fly and lice
resistant and therefore need no chemical
treatment.
The hardy and adaptable
Wiltipoll breed have been developed with a view
to the production of heavy, prime lamb in
marginal areas and more specifically in pastoral
country where they thrive on rough, scrubby
feed. Wiltipolls produce quality, excellent
tasting, lean lamb.
