The Meatmaster is a composite breed of sheep that is identified as a non-fat tailed, hair type sheep. It is aimed exclusively at meeting market demands under extensive and often marginal farming conditions, making it the quintessential breed for the African farmer who wants to farm in harmony with his environment whilst getting a deserved return on investment.
Since 2012, Meatmaster sheep have found a welcoming home at Willow Country Estate where the ethos of the Meatmaster breed is being expanded. Having started with bespoke genetics from recognised breeders and allowing for natural selection, the keen hand and wisdom from Barry and Naledi are now forging what is destined to become another success story at Willow Country Estate. The same breeding philosophy that made the Nguni cattle stud so successful is being applied to the sheep stud and breeding objectives include fertility, adaptability, hardiness, mothering abilities and feed conversion into a valuable end product.
