As a collective we have a clear vision for where Coopworth Genetics is heading. We are committed to continuing to push genetic standards while maintaining exceptional physical soundness.

Key areas of focus include developing a truly low-input sheep, one that requires less hands-on time through selection for dag score, open breech and reduced drenching requirements. We are also working toward phenotypes that benefit animal welfare, including less time in the yards.

Every Coopworth breeder brings individual goals and aspirations to their flock. For specific information, contact your local Coopworth breeder.
