Characteristics of Karioi White Suffolks

Based on the widely used Suffolk breed, White Suffolks present excellent growth, muscle and leanness.

White Suffolks possess a clean face, breech and points with fine, downs type wool requiring only a once-a-year shear.

The rams are known for their natural fertility and libido and can be mated any time of the year. Their smooth functional shape makes lambing easy and ewes mated to Karioi White Suffolk sires present minimal lambing problems.

White Suffolk-sired lambs produce high yielding lean carcases. They are noted for their high quality, white wool giving no contamination in the woolshed and no penalty for coloured fibre or marked pelts in the market.

Our White Suffolk rams are easy handling with a calm agreeable temperament. They are free of footrot and all are certified Brucellosis-free.
