Ashton Glen Coopworth Stud. Suffolk Stud. Suftex & Beltex Crosses.
In 2018 in addition to our Coopworth Stud we registered a Suffolk Stud. We also purchased some Suftex with the purpose of crossing with two purebred Beltex rams we purchased in the autumn.
The Coopworth Stud ewes have been mated with our own high ranking Coopworth rams and a selection of the stud ewes have gone to the Beltex rams along with the Suffolk & Suftex ewes.
All stud animals are SIL recorded.
2018 Lambing
Pictured here is the first of the Beltex X Coopworths. A nice set of twin ewe lambs to start with.
These are a New Zealand and possible world FIRST.
Will be an interesting journey combining the highest rating dual purpose breed in New Zealand with an exciting new meat breed.

Beltex Rams
Here's some pics of the Beltex boys. 7 months old. They are hard-case looking fellows, muscle bound with meat. Nick-named the Pit Bull Sheep. What they lack in stature they make up for in weight. 77.5 & 75.5kg. Expected yield of a purebred is up to 55%. Quiet temperament.

Beltex Cross Lambing.
Here are some photos of our ewes with their pure Beltex sired progeny. Very happy with the strong Beltex genetics appearing in the lambs. Expecting to have some good Beltex cross rams for sale. Dams: Suffolk (hoggets & 2 tooth), Sufftex (hoggets) & Coopworth (2 tooth).
