Find the Right Ram for Your Farm System
At Colhoun Genetics, we’ve spent over 40 years breeding rams that deliver results in real farming environments. Our Coopworth, Coopworth/Texel, Suftex, and Perendale/Coopworth rams are proven performers, selected for traits that matter most to commercial farmers—growth, fertility, survival, and carcass yield.
We operate a direct sales model (no auctions), giving you the chance to select rams that are tailored to your farm system. Whether you’d like to visit us on-farm or have David visit you, we’ll help you find the right sire for your flock.
All our rams are:
Backed by industry-leading EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values) for accurate performance selection
Brucellosis accredited
Sold with a 12-month replacement guarantee
