Chrome Sheep Studs

Chrome Sheep Studs A stud producing high performance Terminal and Maternal recorded rams without compromising phenotype.

CHROMEDALES
Our Chromedale Maternals are the sheep that have put Chrome on the map & utilize the benefits of a number of productive breeds mostly Coopworth, Perendale, Poll Dorset and the odd small infusion of East Friesian. They are bred with extra focus on tighter lamb pelts and a slightly earlier breeding season for those producers who still want to lamb in April/May/June. PERENDALES
Perendales

produce moderate frame score progeny that have very good early maturity as sucker lambs. Perendales are compact nuggetty sheep with black hooves & noses, extremely hardy & worm tolerant. COOPWORTHS
Coopworths make up the backbone of many self replacing ewe flocks in southern Australia and for a very good reason. Their superior mothering ability, fertility & suitability to wet environments has to be seen to be believed by most people. ICON POLL DORSETS
ICON Poll Dorset stud which was founded in 2002 & has become a force to reckon with in the terminal sire industry, due to some large scale AI & Embryo Transfer programs. Poll Dorset ram sales have increased every year since the studs' inception - further proof the rams are "doing the job". ICON SOUTHIE
The use of Southdown rams over a selection of ICON Poll Dorset stud ewes has enabled Chrome to produce a line of rams that will produce earlier maturing lamb.
