The Meatmaster sheep is a hardy, fast-growing South African breed developed for premium meat production under tough conditions. This composite breed, created by crossing indigenous fat-tailed sheep (e.g., Damara) with Dorper and other European meat breeds, thrives in arid and semi-arid environments. Naturally shedding, disease-resistant, and low-maintenance, Meatmasters deliver excellent carcass quality and vigorous lambs, making them ideal for sustainable, low-input meat farming.
