Description
Awaiting Official Teeswater Pedigree Certificate from the Teeswater Sheep Society
The Downkillybegs pedigree Teeswater flock was established in 2007 with 4 pedigree ewes and has risen in numbers to now being one of the largest flocks in Ireland.
The bloodlines at Downkillybegs are selected for fleece quality, carcass quality with good fleshing ability and true breed type on a strong body structure.
With a large flock at Downkillybegs, it is important to keep a diverse gene pool of bloodlines which enables the Downkillybegs flock to sell females and unrelated rams to new flock start-ups. Pedigree breeding sheep from Downkillybegs have been exported to Scotland, England, Isle of Man and Eire.
Strict selection on true breed type with bold appearance and strong structural correctness are the linchpin criteria that define Downkillybegs Teeswaters.
The Downkillybegs flock is one of the highest health status flocks in the Teeswater Association and undergoes annual testing and inspections to maintain this elite status.
