When people ask if Charollais genetics perform in Northern BC, we let the numbers do the talking. 📈🐏
Meet Four L Phyllis 6P, a standout ewe lamb from our flock born right here on February 16th.
Phyllis wasn’t an only child getting all the milk—she was raised as a twin. Her twin started strong at 9.3 lbs, and Phyllis hit the ground running at an impressive 11.3 lbs. 👋👭
Look at how fast she converted feed into pure muscle and frame over her first few months:
• 30 Days: 28.2 lbs
• 50 Days: 38.6 lbs (Nearly quadrupled her birth weight!)
• 100 Days: 67.0 lbs
• 120 Days: 80.6 lbs
• 150 Days: 101.4 lbs
That is a blazing average daily gain of 0.60 lbs from birth to 50 days, and maintaining that momentum through 150 days. By 6 months (180 days), she topped the scales at 106.2 lbs.
Why does this matter to a commercial sheep producer?
In our short Northern BC grazing seasons, time is money. Every extra day a lamb sits in your pasture consuming feed eats into your margins.
When you cross a purebred Charollais sire onto your commercial ewes, you inject this exact rapid-growth blueprint into your lamb crop.
You get heavier lambs, faster turns, and higher meat-to-bone dressing percentages at market.

Phyllis is the exact kind of high-performance foundation animal that puts new breeders on the map.
