Suffolk ewe Values |
- We regularly get
inquiries as to the value of Suffolk ewes. Interested buyers should be
aware that these are stud ewes and therefore attract a higher value than
commercial ewes. Val d'Or Suffolks current values - April 2012 - Excluding GST
Note: Ewes for sale are surplus to requirement 2011/12 - Due to a general shortage of ewes / sheep in
NZ, ewe values are historically high. Farmers all over NZ effected by drought or flooding/winter storms, have sold
stock or have not survived. Farmers are now in catch-up / re-buy mode,
supply is lower, demand is higher. |

Handling Suffolk sheep |
- Being strong and aggressive, handling them should be done slowly, calmly and with care. - Sturdy, well built yards and fences are recommended. - Should a Suffolk sheep escape by itself, more of its own kind should be released with it. This will calm the escaped animal and should make it easier to round up. |
