August marks lambing season for many South African farmers — a time of both excitement
and risk. For Damara breeders, it’s also a time to celebrate the genetic strength of this
unique African sheep.
The Damara’s natural mothering ability, combined with strong lamb survival rates, makes it
one of the most rewarding breeds for both small-scale and commercial farmers. Lambs
are born with remarkable vigor, often standing and suckling within minutes. This resilience
translates to healthier flocks and stronger profits.
What truly sets the Damara apart is its genetic diversity. Bred for centuries in some of
Africa’s harshest climates, Damaras carry traits that future-proof your flock: heat
tolerance, low maintenance, and adaptability across grazing systems.
In a world where farmers face unpredictable climate shifts, this genetic foundation is not
just valuable — it’s essential.
Choosing Damaras means choosing long-term security for your farm.
