EasyRam Sales 2023

You will find below Videos of the shearling Rams we have for sale this year.(Videos will be available from July / August). For ease of Purchasers these have been divided so that the 3 Terminal breeds come first followed by the 4 Maternal breeds. On the top left hand corner of each individual video is the unique Ear tag number of that particular sheep i.e. 9088/19. The date the video was taken is then also shown. The videos for all the rams in each group follow on from each other in ear tag number order.
Terminal Rams

EasyRam NZ Terminal rams will serve more ewes in a season than any other native born UK rams. Careful genetic selection over the last 100 years in NZ allied to our only feeding rams on grass or forage means that YOU can safely run 1 EasyRam shearling Terminal tup with 120/140 ewes and he will happily serve them in a single cycle. An EasyRam ram lamb will serve 60/70 ewes in a single cycle. This will allow YOU to reduce your annual tupping charges by up to 66% (See attached report from SRUC’s John Vipond) goto our RAM Calculator to calculate your ram costs.  See more

Maternal Rams

EasyRam maternal rams bring the benefits of sheep developed through 35 years of subsidy free farming. These versatile efficient and productive sheep are ideal for outdoor lambing flocks particularly those on grassland systems and requiring low labour inputs. See more
EasyRam Terminal AND Maternal Suffolk

NZ Suffolks was originally imported from the UK into New Zealand until 1952. Whilst there they have been developed into a highly efficient low cost ram that is particularly suited for use on harder terrain. 

The normal faults of UK Suffolks including difficult births, dopey lambs, dirty backends and the need for concentrates to finish NEVER happens in NZ Suffolks. As a client said my NZ Suffolks are just like what a good Suffolk was 50 years ago before the breeders messed them up”.

In NZ the Suffolk X lamb is never retained for further breeding due to their intense dislike of black or grey wool that can be found around the top of the legs and around the head and neck.

However, we have found in the UK that the NZ Suffolk X Female is a real winner. Whether the EasyRam NZ Suffolk ram is crossed with a Mule, Welsh Mountain, Cheviot or Lleyn the resulting X bred ewes are very easy lambing due to large pelvises, They are outstanding mothers (including ewe lambs), maintain their BCS on grass alone and are long lived with good feet teeth and udders.

EasyRam Terminal AND Maternal Texel

NZ Texels were originally imported into New Zealand from Scandinavia 35 years ago when those were the only Scrapie Free countries in Europe.

Like all New Zealand sheep they have been developed for ease of management and are particularly chosen for the excellent survivability and high meat yields of their lambs.

NZ Texels are renowned for their maternal abilities and lamb survivability particularly under harsh outdoor lambing conditions. Easy lambing due to wide non sloping pelvises make them ideal sires of a true maternal Texel X ewe. Features include:
  • NZ Texel X ewes are easy lambing due to wide pelvis and wedge shape
  • NZ Texel X ewes are great mothers with strong maternal instincts
  • NZ Texel X ewes are great foragers
EasyRam Terminal Sufftex

NZ Sufftex ( Texel X Suffolk) rams are now the No1 terminal ram in New Zealand. This breed is now properly stabilised and apart from the benefits of Hybrid Vigour will give you the rapid growth of the Suffolk and the meatiness of the Texel. 

EasyDam Maternal

2020 sees the launch EasyRams Maternal Composite Dam line. These sheep have been sourced from the very best and highest ranked NZ Maternal Sheep Flocks. They were initially a 3 way cross that has been stabilised over the last 20 years. The breeds involved were:

NZ Romney for strong constitution, stability, growth off forage, and fertility, ease of lambing and lamb survivability: 

NZ East Friesian for high fertility, high milk yields right through till when lambs are weaned and very good pregnancy rates in ewe hoggs (ewe lambs): 

NZ Texel for extra meat yield, parasite resistance and lamb survivability. 
There then followed over 20 years of stabilisation with the constant breeding objective of producing an efficient ewe requiring minimum labour and fast lamb growth and all the time ensuring that an ever larger % of lambs are sold as finished lambs at weaning.
