Queensland Breeders of Wiltipoll - The Less Work Prime Lamb Breed. The Wiltipoll is a new breed of sheep, recently developed in Australia from the Wiltshire Horn. It is a polled sheep that is bred for the production of naturally larger prime lamb only. It's short white fleece is shed annually. The wool shedding Wiltipoll directs its resources to the production of meat and milk - not wool, so costs are cut dramatically and there is no need for shearing, crutching, jetting, dipping or mulesing. These sheep are fly and lice resistant and therefore need no chemical treatment. The absence of horn in the Wiltipoll means prime lamb animals are easier to handle, less aggressive and bruising is avoided. Wiltipoll sheep are hardy, adaptable and offer quality meat production with lower costs and much less work. Wiltipolls produce superior quality, excellent tasting, lean lamb.
