Royal White Sheep:
Royal White sheep are a breed of hair sheep that grow quickly, have incredible lean meat that tastes amazing, are naturally parasite resistant and very docile. Want to add some size to your existing herd? Adding a royal White ram will add size to your St. Croix and Katahdin ewes!
Royal White sheep are a hair breed, privately funded and developed in the United States by William Hoag, in Hermleigh, Texas. The Royal White sheep breed is the first new sheep breed in the United States in over 25 years, developed for high performance and low maintenance. They were developed and selected for adaptability, easy-care, flocking ability, low stress, and parasite resistance. The Royal White sheep is frame to height weigh proportionate, designed to be off the ground far enough not to effect body temperature. They grow a longer hair coat in the fall and the shed it off naturally in the spring. The Royal White is pure white. Ewes and rams are polled or naturally hornless. They are highly intelligent for sheep, and the ewes excel in mothering abilities and protection of their lambs. Royals can breed year around, thus allowing lamb production to meet specific markets when the producers want them to meet the demands. The lamb survival is excellent, often having twins, triplets and even quadruplets. The ewes are height to weight proportionate for better lamb carrying capacity, better browsing capabilities, well sized udders off the ground and less lambing problems. The rams are protective and well off the ground to keep their lower body areas cooler from hot soil conditions that could effect breeding performance in hotter climates. Royal White sheep prefer routine. Their flocking traits enable easier management by producers and make rotational grazing more effective, as they stay close together while grazing versus going off grazing in small groups. Royals are somewhat docile, but not too docile, they adapt well to new environments.
As a hair sheep, they do not have the high concentrations of lanolin that wool breeds have and therefore have a mild flavor and do not have the gamey taste that some wool breeds produce. Demand for these sheep seems to exceed the supply of breeding stock and commercial demands, as well as the emerging ethnic markets. Hair sheep production has been on a steady rise for the past 50 years, due to easy-care, no shearing needed, no docking, and no crutching.
