Bourbon Crossbred Sheep

Bourbon Crossbred Sheep

　　In the late 1990s, the Hubei Provincial Animal Husbandry Bureau introduced the world-renowned meat sheep breed — Boer goats — from Australia, which were settled in Wangfan, establishing the largest Boer goat breeding base in the province. Through artificial insemination, the Boer goats were crossbred with local goats to create the Bourbon crossbred goats. This breed features rapid weight gain, high-quality meat, strong adaptability, and high economic returns, with an annual weight gain of up to 100 kilograms. To support integrated development, our township has secured and implemented the Southern Grass Mountains and Slopes Development Demonstration Project, developed specialized sheep-raising villages, and established artificial insemination stations. Currently, the breeding system is well-established, initial development scale has been achieved, and breeding stock has begun entering the market. The goal is to build our township into a nationally renowned and top-ranked Boer breeding sheep base in the five central-southern provinces within three years.
