Damara sheep perform well across a wide range of Australian environments, from higher rainfall regions to dry and more challenging conditions.

If you’re unsure, contact us and we can discuss how they are likely to perform in your specific environment.

Damara sheep are well suited to producers looking to simplify their operation while maintaining performance. Key advantages include:

• No shearing required
• Strong fertility and lambing consistency
• High drought tolerance
• Efficient feed utilisation
• Lower labour requirements

No. Damara sheep naturally shed their coat, removing the need for shearing and reducing ongoing labour and costs.

Focus on:

• Sound structure and conformation
• Fertility and reproductive performance
• Consistent type
• Healthy, well-managed animals
• A breeder with clear breeding direction

Damara sheep are a hardy, shedding breed known for their adaptability, fertility, and ability to perform consistently under Australian conditions.

Availability varies throughout the year based on our breeding program.

We recommend enquiring early to secure upcoming availability or joining our waitlist.

Damara sheep are often considered by producers comparing low-input shedding breeds such as Dorper and Australian White sheep. The most suitable choice depends on the production system, environment and management goals. Damara sheep are typically selected for their adaptability and performance in variable Australian grazing conditions.

Regarding OJD — the National OJD Management Program was formally concluded in 2018 and all interstate movement restrictions have been progressively removed across Australia, with the last barriers lifted in 2019. There are currently no OJD-related movement restrictions anywhere in Australia. Our foundation flock was vaccinated against OJD by the original breeder, and vaccination for any offspring has since been discontinued on Local Land Services and veterinary advice in line with national deregulation of the program. Every sale is accompanied by a National Sheep Health Declaration giving you full transparency on health status.

Our annual health program includes:

• 5-in-1 vaccination with B12 for every animal every year
• Strategic drench program using Levamisole oral and Moxidectin long-acting injection guided by Faecal Egg Count monitoring
• Regular hoof inspection and maintenance

Full health documentation is available on request.
