The Lowerye (pronounced Lower Rye) flock has been a member of the Charollais Sire Reference Scheme since 1996 and we now stand as one of the largest and highest performance flocks of Charollais sheep in the UK. Rams are bred with an emphasis on growth rate and muscling which we consider to be the most important attributes for producing a TOP  class commercial prime lamb, in fact we have bred the highest muscularity (from CT scanning) ram lambs for the last 3 of the last 4 years. 

See pictures of newest stock sires, Investment, Impressive , Juggernaut & Jet Set.

  We have been investigating the prevalence of the MyoMAX gene within the flock (see News).   

15 of the top 16 recorded ram lambs in 2008 were bred at Lowerye.

Over half of the top 100 index lambs in 2008 were sired by Lowerye Eric (ZVY 4090), or his sons.

In 2009 we will be offering semen from L.Eric, L.Del Boy, R.House of Letterawe & W. Apostle.

Ram semen is available for home and export sales. 

Embryos can be flushed on contract.
