A NEW OCCUPATION — Jean and Tom McCullough of Concession 5 in Hay township are
the newest sheep breeders in the area. They are shown with two of their spring Suffolk
Iambs. T -A photo
Suffolk breeding stock
off to overseas flocks
One of the newest sheep
producers in the southern
part of Huron county is ex-
pecting to participate in the
export trade of breeding
stock for the second time
this summer.
Tom McCullough sent 15
registered Suffolk ewes to
Brazil in September of 1980
and hopes to increase this
number along with some
rams later this year.
McCullough. an accoun-
tant by trade and his wife
Jean purchased 50 acres of
land at part of Lot 14,
Concession 5 in Hay
township. near the Hay
swamp in 1973.
Within the next three
years, the couple, who are
natives of Ireland. built a
house and barn and purchas-
ed 60 Suffolkewesfrom Voel-
mle Farms at Auburn.
Their Suffolk flock now
consists of 100 ewes, eight
rams and of course. a large
number of lambs which are
arriving daily.
The McCullough's expect
to send only about :10 Iambs
from this spring's crop to
the Easter market in Toron-
to.
The balance of the 1981
lambs will be kept for possi-
ble exporting. Asked if any
rams were sent to Brazil last
year. McCullough said, "No,
we didn't keep any males as
they were sent to the Easter
market. but. this year we
should have some males for
other countries."
The new sheep producer
added. I find this occupa-
tion really interesting and
challenging. I have no desire
to go back pushing a pencil.
This part of the country is
really great."
Since early January when
the first of the 100 ewes
began to lamb, the
McCullough's have been
checking their flock every
two hours day and night.
To comply with ROP
regulations. the Iambs are
required to be weighed when
they are 50 days old and
again when they have been
in the McCullough barn for
100 days
Asked about the number of
Iambs his ewes produce,
McCullough remarked, "I
would like to get more twin-
nings and can be achieved
by culling out the poorer
producers according to our
records
He continued. "Our lambs
are gaining about a half
,kilogram in weight per day.
I think that's pretty darn
good. The price this year for
market lambs is down con-
siderably from last year to
about $1.30 per pound."
McCullough added, "Ex-
ports from New Zealand are
certainly hurting our prices:
In that country wool is the
main product and meat is
only a byproduct."
Of the 50 acre farm owned
by the McCullough's only 21
acres are cultivated and
most of that acreage
produces hay which ac-
counts for about 90 percent
of the feed needs.
The McCullough sheep are
semi -confined being allowed
to graze during daylight
hours only during the
summer months.
McCullough said the
Suffolk breed of sheep is
producing heavier and
longer animals over the last
couple of years.
, He added, "I have read in
magazines that our Suffolk
rams are almost 100 pounds
heavier than those in
England and they are longer
in the leg."
