Selected for the White Suffolk Flock Improvement Program

The Flock Improvement Program was instigated by the Australian White Suffolk Association to test high performing young stud rams over several flocks in comparison with established sires and their testing counterparts to identify the best performing sires of the White Suffolk breed. Illoura rams have performed well in Lambplan's Across Flock Evaluation and three of our rams have been used in the Flock Improvement ProgramIlloura has also participated in the program, by using a number of Elite rams. We believe that participating in this program has given us excellent opportunity to breed high EBV progeny and improving the overall quality of our flock.
