Our goal is to have 1000 commercial ewes bred to fat tail rams within the next year.
Fat Tail Collective is looking for:
-Producer members that have well selected commercial ewe flocks that are willing to use fat tail rams to produce the f1 fat tail flock.
-Grazier members that will raise single sex flocks to desired age and finish for a prearranged market.
-Buyer members that will utilize these early f1-f2 ram lambs as we breed up to a commercial fat tail composite.
Fat tail breed up basics:
Well selected commercial ewe flocks are bred to fat tail rams.
F1 fat tail ewe lambs will form the basis of the commercial fat tail flock. All f1 fat tail ram lambs will be marketed at various ages.
F2 ewe lambs enter the breeding flock with exceptional f2 ewes identified as potential ram mothers. F2 ram lambs will be marketed at various ages.
F3 ewe lambs enter the breeding flock with exceptional f3 ewes identified as potential ram mothers. F3 ram lambs are marketed at various ages. Exceptional f3 ram lambs may be selected as breeding stock.
