Performance
High fertility (110 to 150 percent) is combined with rapid lamb growth rate (350 gms per day) up to weaning, making the Dohne a highly efficient meat producer.

Slaughter lambs achieve a marketing weight of at least 50kg at 4 to 6 months of age.

Mature body weight of ewes varies from 55 to 65 kg, depending on environment.

After receiving prime lamb rates over the hook in recent years, the Dohne is now recognized by meat buyers and agents alike as a leading prime lamb breed and is commanding premium prices in the saleyard throughout NSW.
