EasyRam Suffolks have totally transformed my view of the Suffolk breed no more dirty backends – no more dopey lambs.
The rams are great value for money due to their longevity and ability to serve a lot of ewes in a short time.
Their lambs have great length, tight skins and the ability to flesh easily.

Slide title
“Since using EasyRam tups on my NCM ewes and hoggs I intervene in less than 2% of lambings.”
"A Lively Ram gives you a lively lamb”.
The PROFITABILITY of my sheep flock depends on the number of lambs weaned.

Slide title
“The rams do exactly what they promise.”
“Last year 2 EasyTexel rams ran with 246 ewes including 175 first time lambing shearlings for 28 days. There were only 5 geld ewes and most lambed in the first 10 days.”
“I never suckle a lamb and just whizz round twice a day. Backwards lambs are very rare.”
"Our EasyTexel lambs have slightly lower birth weights but they do really well on our organic grass only system.”
“We retain EasyTexel X ewe lambs to put more hardiness into our ewe flock.”
Button -
Slide title
“The ewes AND ewe lambs tupped by EasyTexel rams only need looking twice a day at lambing time, whereas our ewes tupped by traditional UK Texels needed looking 5 times a day.”
“Finer heads and finer shoulders make a tremendous difference at lambing time.”
“EasyTexel sired lambs hit the ground and are up and immediately sucking.
“I sell my lambs in the live market and am delighted that my NZ Texel sired lambs make the same as my UK Texel sired lambs. The only buyers comment is that the NZ lambs handle better on the back.”

“EasyTexel rams are able to produce good quality commercial lambs out of ordinary ewes.”
“I buy ram lambs to get another years work out of my rams and save money.”
“I run ram lambs at 1:70 ewes, but they could do more – I am sure.”
“The rams bring hardiness, longevity, good feet and worm resistance.”
“Our EasyRam tups enjoy working and come out of the ewes with no condition loss.”

“They DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE PACKET.
I bought my first 3 EasyRams in 2017 when I also bought 15 rams out of Wilton Ram Fair. The 3 EasyRams are as good as they day I bought them but I only have 2 Wilton rams left – the rest have been culled or died.
In the first year I put 2 EasyRams with 240 ewes. 239 scanned in lamb and 224 ewes lambed in 14 days
The EasyRam tups don’t lose condition, don’t go lame and cause no hassle. The sooner we can change over to ALL EasyRams the better”.
Button -
Slide title
The EasyRam tups are the first rams that have been able to survive and even thrive on Gairsay’s poor grass. Never before have we brought back to shear all the rams we sent to the island.
Because of the hardiness and fleshiness of our EasySufftex lambs we are retaining them for our own use.
EasyTexel sired lambs out of EasySufftex sired ewe lambs are easily and quickly born.
Button -
Slide title
Our EasyRam sired lambs and ewes are “Great Foragers” and ideally suited for our intensive grazing.
Outdoor lambing saves me in extra labour (family) of £4-£7/ewe per year.
Correct shaped sheep are absolutely critical to lambing with minimal losses.
If you have one hung lamb ( dead from being stuck at birth) you need to sell 16 lambs at an extra £5/hd to make up the loss
I expect my ram breeder to breed me better rams year on year. EasyRams tick this box and I have bought 20 of their rams over the last 8 years.

Slide title
“Our EasySuffolk and EasyTexel rams reduce our labour requirements throughout the year which is vital to our business”
Button -
Slide title
My main reason for changing to EasyRams was that I could not keep our traditional rams alive.
Our EasyRam tups have done exactly what we were promised. They are very easily fleshed, never melted during tupping and have continued to grow till now.
Their lambs are finer boned and very easily born and never needed suckling even though they were all out of first time lambing gimmers.
The lambs grow really well off grass and have plenty of shape and muscle.
Button -
Slide title
Ease of lambing is essential for our system and the EasySuffolk definitely ticks this box.
Button -
Slide title
Our EasySufftex rams have massively reduced the number of dead and hung lambs we have.
Their lambs finish really well and quicker off grass than off their UK equivalents.
Button -
Slide title
NZ Suffolks ( EasySuffolks) bear NO RELATIONSHIP whatsoever to the modern UK Suffolk.
Their lambs are far more vigorous and up and sucking in all weather. They are finer boned at birth, sharper and much better at finding the teat.
The EasySuffolk X Welsh ewe is EXCELLENT with no more lambing issues than the pure Welsh.
They have good mouths and udders and easily last 5 or 6 years
Button -
Slide title
EasySuffolk X Ewes have tremendous mothering ability.
They are a pleasure to lamb as hoggs.
EasySuffolk sired lambs are vigorous, quick to suck and growth.
EasyTexels are great for tupping hoggs.

Slide title
Low labour requirement is essential as Mike who does all the outside lambing also is running our large pig enterprise.
EasyRams tick all the boxes for easy lambing
Their lambs are hardy with a great will to live.
They are great for tupping hoggs
The rams get better each year we have them.

“Our Sufftex sired lambs are really easy fleshing and quick to finish on our grass only system. This is essential for us to make a profit”
Button -
Slide title
Our EasySuftex rams have been brilliant and are just what I was looking for even if I did not know it!
I ram does the work of 3 traditional ones without effort and stays fit all year.
We lamb outdoors on a very exposed farm. The lambs just pop out suck and survive virtually any kind of weather.
Arctic Skuas used to be a real problem pecking out the eyes of new born lambs. But now with the lambs being born so quickly and easily we hardly lose a lamb to Skuas who have moved elsewhere for easier pickings!
