DTC 10046 AND DTC 100313

The last embryo’s done in 2012 have just reached 90 days of age – the sires being DTC 110061 and DTC 100313.
These are without doubt the best to date – weights averaging around 42 kg at 90 days – with one lamb DTC 130027 weighing 50 KG
Good length of body is very evident.

We have harvested 113 embryo’s in 2012 – a huge investment – which will pay off in the end .
These have been harvested from the best ewes in the herd –there has been a substantial positive genetic progress in the herd.
No ewes have been bought in – and the producing ewes numbers have escalated from 125 to 230 – with Denvor’s own sheep
We have 132 lambs to date in 2013 – compared to 64 at the same time in 2012.
Exciting times ahead.
