flesh and muscular development. They produce a dense
'Downs Type Wool' typically arond about 30
microns – and wool that is ideal for handwoven
carpets. |

Poll Dorsets crossed with any wool breed are excellent
as dual-purpose animals. Poll Dorset are by far the
most popular of the terminal sire breeds for the production
of prime lambs. Prime lambs are produced mainly from
mating Poll Dorset rams to cross bred Merino and Merino
purebred mothers. |
