Parasite Resistance and Low Input - The St. Croix Advantage

Raising livestock today often means battling disease, parasites, and and even costly inputs. St. Croix sheep, however, are a game-changer in sustainable farming.

Natural Parasite Resistance

One of their most remarkable traits is their natural resistance to internal parasites, particularly the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contortus), which devastates many sheep breeds. With St. Croix sheep, farmers reduce dependence on chemical dewormers, minimizing costs and chemical exposure.

Low Maintenance, Big Rewards

St. Croix sheep require fewer inputs than most breeds:

• No sharing

• No tail docking

• No horns to manages

• Excellence maternal instincts and lambing ease

Their ability to thrive on pasture with minimal supplementation makes them ideal for regenerative agriculture and low-input farming systems.

Choosing St. Croix sheep is not just practical - it's a step toward sustainability and environmental responsibility.
