| 5 Glenlands Farm is a shedding sheep stud in the Esk Valley run by Dean and Antoinette Martin. RURAL PEOPLE » Glenlands Farm These sheep graze a bit more like goats really. And when it rains, and they shed, they leave telltale circles of wool in the grass where they’ve slept, which then breaks down into the soil.” Dean says shedding sheep have a milder flavour and the kill-out percentage is better than traditional breeds. He will be spending more time looking at the eating quality. The Australians are working on scanning for intramuscular fat and tear strength on live rams, without killing them. “Our main lambing is late August to October. We experimented with a small mob of SheepMaster ewes lambing out of season in late January 2024, “Our main lambing is late August to October.
