Introduction

The UltraWhite is a wool shedding, meat producing sheep.

Development of the UltraWhite breed started in 2005, when Dawson Bradford Snr saw an opportunity to breed a high performance, fast growing, low maintenance, wool shedding sheep called the “easy care”. As a prime lamb producer of Poll Dorset sheep for over 50 years and as Chairman of WAMMCO, Dawson was ideally placed to recognise the qualities required in a meat producing sheep and set out to breed a sheep capable of performing well across a wide and diverse range of climate and conditions.

So started the process in 2005 with the mating of a selection of Poll Dorset ewes from the stud flock to top White Dorper rams in order to breed a wool shedding composite sheep that was easy-care, hardy and a good do-er. It had to be hardy and yet able to perform at the highest level for growth when conditions were right for peak production.
