Canadian Arcott Sheep
Canadian Arcott Sheep breeders listing & info
The Canadian Arcott was one of the three breeds developed at the Agriculture Canada research station near Ottawa. Canadian Arcotts were the result of a cross breeding program that included Ile de France and Suffolk to produce a new breed with strong meat characteristics. The mature sheep is medium sized, short and thick. The lambs are fast growing, meaty animals that finish well for either the light or heavy lamb market. They produce an excellent carcass with good meat to bone ratio. The ewes are easy lambers and require low to medium maintenance. They adapt well to either pasture or confinement management systems. The rams make excellent terminal sires to improve the meat characteristics of many other breeds.

Le Arcott Canadien est le résultat d'un programme de croisement incluant l` Île de France et le Suffolk dans le but de produire une nouvelle race avec de bonnes caractéristiques bouchères. Le mouton adulte est de taille moyenne, court et épais. Les agneaux sont des animaux à forte croissance, de type boucher pour le marché d'agneau léger ou lourd. Ils produisent une excellente carcasse avec un bon rendement en viande. Les brebis ont de la facilité à agneler et requièrent relativement peu de soins. Ils s'adaptent bien au pâturage ou aux systèmes de réclusion en gestion intensive. Les mâles font d'excellents béliers terminaux afin d'améliorer les caractéristiques bouchères de beaucoup d'autres races.
