Landor Stud’s Meatmaster Sheep Stud was established in May 2019 with the purchase of our first hand picked pure bred Meatmaster breeding ewes. The Meatmaster breed was established in the early 90’s as a fat tailed, woolless sheep bred from the two well known Damara and Dorper breeds as a meat producer.
Very specific superior genetic characteristics were sought after and bred onwards. Characteristics like great mother instincts, early and high fertility where twins are expected from their second lambing onwards, medium build with good limbs in order to cover great distances in the arid Karoo and extremely good area adaptability.
They are both browsers and grazers and have good parasitic resistance. The ewes wean good weaner lambs of good weight and meat quality.
Over the years the Meatmaster breed has grown exponentially in popularity and is very true to its slogan as “Nature’s moneymaker”.
At the Landor Stud we continue striving to breed superior animals by using in our reproduction programs Laparoscopy artificial frozen semen insemination from the best Meatmaster rams available to us. We will achieve full stud status with our animals in the next two generations of offspring and we are looking forward to becoming known as one of the top Meatmaster breeders of superior quality.
