Columbias work well as a terminal sire or mother breed. Columbias have long been used nationwide to improve a majority of the flocks and breeds. With Columbia, you will find those characteristics that you desire. Columbias have been used to bring the following traits to many of the nation s flocks: Size, scale, dimension Maternal traits Milk production heavy milkers Pounds of wool per ewe Pounds of lamb Carcass Larger rib eye Columbias are the leader in the commercial industry because of their superior maternal traits; heavy, dense fleeces; feed efficiency; and fast growing, vibrant lambs. 8 Hettinger Ram Sale 2017
They possess carcass qualities that allow them to be highly competitive with the market lamb breeds. For more than 100 years, our producers have experienced higher profits from their sheep, with more pounds of wool and lamb, plus less labor costs. From east to west, Columbias can work in any flock to improve the bottom line for the producer. Learn how Columbias can make more profit for you at www.columbiasheep.org.
