Welcome and Baaaa! (ewe and twins)

 Royal White®  is a registered trademark with the US Patent and Trademarks
 Office in Washington DC.  Goods and Services: living animals, namely a sheep.
 Registration Number is 2855985 and Serial Number is 78241946 .  Currently,  
  the only sheep breed registered as such in the USA that we are aware of.
 Royals are genuine pure hair sheep, not upgraded sheep from wool breeds.
   This is the first new sheep breed in the USA in over 20 years. No upgrading
 from other breeds is permitted, we see no purpose in diluting the traits in them
 or the possibility of infusing unwanted traits in these fine sheep.

 They are designed to be height to weight proportionate for better overall performance,  greater mobility and less heat stress in hotter/humid months and better lamb carrying capability in the ewes.  They are  hardy feminine, polled, flockers, highly parasite resistant, low stress shippers and intelligent for ease of manageability, and highly adaptable to different regions of the country. Whether your new to raising to sheep, a traditional sheep producer or just looking to diversify into sheep production,  this easycare type of sheep maybe an option. They are non-flighty, never dock or shear. No Royal White sheep has ever been determined to have scrapie or tested positive in the USA or Canada for scrapie.

 Royal White lambs seem to  survive better,  they have high glucose and Iga levels at birth.  The mothers clean up lambing birth fluids faster than a wool-hair cross or a wool lamb, this gives them an edge, cleanup speed is imperative especially with multiple births.These are large hair class sheep, the lambs grow extremely fast and yield 54% meat at 109 lbs. The meat is very tender 2.1 on the Bratzler Shear Force Instrument.  The leather pelt is splittable and the leather grades premium garment quality. Texas A&M DNA Core Facility has discovered new novel polymorphisms in these sheep. There are two Types of Royal White Sheep Type A (Standard) and Type B (natural bobtail/notail).
