Originally known as the German Mutton Merino, the first ten ewes and a ram were imported to South Africa from Germany in 1932 by the Department of Agriculture for a breeding program. Through selection for better wool quality and conformation, the uniqueness of the South African breed name was changed to the SA Mutton Merino.

The SA Mutton Merino is a dual purpose mutton-wool sheep (60:40 mutton to wool), originally bred for its high adaptability to all farming regions in South Africa. The Breed was developed to produce a slaughter lamb at an early age as well as good quality wool.

Gracefield Meat Merino Stud has a wide base of all genetic material and welcomes both commercial and stud interest. View our Sales for more information.
