By exploiting the forage conversion genetics of Clun Forest ewes, and capturing the maternal genetics of the Bluefaced Leicester, the Mule ewe inherits the vigor, hardiness, and forage conversion capabilities of their Hill dam with the additional benefit of increased size, prolificacy, milk production, and early maturity;

Along with the lush pastures comes parasite problems. At muleflock, genetic selection for parasite resistance along with carefully timed pasture rotation allows for the production of wholesome market lambs with little or no use of chemical wormers. With that, this years forage based market lambs are robust, healthy and ready for market.
