November is the turning point into summer. While rising temperatures can challenge many livestock breeds, the Damara thrives under heat and dry conditions.
Originating from Namibia and adapted to some of Africa’s hottest regions, the Damara’s fat tail and hardy constitution are its survival tools. Farmers who run Damaras notice lower stress levels, steady weight gain, and higher fertility rates even in tough summer months.
Heat tolerance isn’t just about comfort — it’s a profit advantage. Less weight loss, fewer veterinary issues, and better adaptation to veld grazing mean that Damaras remain productive when other breeds struggle.
This summer, let your flock work with nature, not against it. Choose sheep that welcome the sun.
