Selside Zwartbles - ZSA 286

About the breed

The Zwartbles breed is originally from Holland,
where they were used for both meat & milk.

They have many outstanding characteristics including:

  • Easy lambing
  • Prolific & milky ewes
  • Excellent mothers
  • Fast growth rate
  • Naturally tame
  • Very attractive
  • Low fat carcass
  • Able to cope with low & mid altitude conditions

The Zwartbles has many characteristics that are considered desirable for cross breeding including, its large frame, prolific nature, milky ewes & fast growth rate. The Zwartbles is considered by many to have a superior conformation that can be passed down to the next generation of “butchers lambs”.

Some Of Our Breeding Ewes

We founded a commercial flock of Zwartbles in 2000
becoming registered in 2005.

Our aim is to breed stock to suit both the pedigree &
commercial market with emphasis on good confirmation
& markings.

We often have stock available for sale throughout the year these maybe from our registered or unregistered flocks so there is usually somthing to suit most people and pockets.
We may have in lamb ewes, ewes with lambs, gimmer lambs, tup lambs, tups or breeding ewes available depending on the time of year.
