I have pure breed Ryeland Rams for sale. These sheep are an endangered breed within Australia and are listed with the rare breed association. They are a renowned meat sheep and provide amazing quality sweet meat.

The Ryeland is one of the oldest English sheep breeds going back seven centuries when the monks of Leominster in Herefordshire bred sheep and grazed them on the rye pastures, giving them their name. It was introduced into Australia in 1919 and are classified as an endangered breed by the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia and also are one of the nine heritage breeds[1] that were the foundation of the sheep and wool industry in Australia. The Ryeland was one of the breeds used to introduce the poll gene (no horns) to the Dorset breed in the development of the Poll Dorset.[2] This breed is raised primarily for meat.[3]

They have all been tested for ovine brucellosis and have come back negative (vet report included in sale)
