Oberon Prime is the private label under which Lahood and Son farms and
distributes its lambs. Ewes are sourced from the finest producers in the
far west. Large frame, first-cross ewes are selected from Border Leicester
rams crossed with Merino ewes.
Poll Dorset rams are predominately sourced
from the world renowned Tattykeel Stud at Black Springs Oberon.
During winter, stock is finished on cereal crops of oats, rye and triticale.
At certain times of the year, lambs are finished on a corn grain mixture
giving a juicier, lighter flavour to the meat.
Once lambs reach live weights of 45 kg, they are taken under stock care
procedures to Oberon abattoirs for processing.
The Oberon preferred end product is a 2-3 score carcass, weighing 22-24
kg, ideally turned off as a sucker, but if necessary grown out and then
fattened on pasture or grain. Lambs are carefully selected and sourced
to ensure Oberon Prime produces lamb which is of the highest quality and
is consistently succulent and tender.
