Longwool Crossbred ewes are pivotal in the UK industry where they are crossed with a terminal sire to produce a fast growing, high quality prime lamb. They are renowned for being of good size/frame, prolific with good milking ability and mothering instincts, and they produce good sized lambs, especially when mated with a terminal sire breed.
