Edge Club Lambs started as...you guessed it...a 4-H project. For years we were raising enough for our family to show and sell locally. Since then, this project has turned into a real passion for raising quality livestock and working with families across the country that share our love for this industry and the values it teaches. We'd love to talk about our breeding program and how we can help you achieve your goals. This industry is about building relationships and we would be honored to start one with you!

American Australian White Breeding Program
In 2023, a new chapter began at Edge Livestock with the birth of our first Fullblood Australian White sheep—marking a historic milestone for our farm and the breed in the United States. These lambs were born as a result of frozen embryos imported directly from the Tattykeel Stud in Australia, pioneers and developers of the Australian White breed.
One of these standout rams, named Boomerang, holds the distinction of being the first animal officially registered with the American Australian White Sheep Breeders Association (AAWSBA).
Doug Edge, who currently serves as President of the AAWSBA, along with his wife Lisa, traveled to Tattykeel in April 2025 to further strengthen international collaboration and bring back the latest insights on genetics and breeding advancements.
At Edge Livestock, we are committed to advancing the breed through:
* Continued importation of elite genetics from Australia
* Cutting-edge reproductive work using IVF and Embryo Transfer in partnership with Reproduction Specialty Group (RSG)
* A Breed-Up Program designed to rapidly expand flock numbers while maintaining the integrity and quality of the breed
The Australian White is known for its superior carcass yield, self-replacing qualities, low maintenance, and full shedding coat, making it ideal for commercial and seedstock producers alike. It is often referred to the Wagyu of the lamb industry.
To learn more about the breed and how you can get involved, visit the American Australian White Sheep Breeders Association at www.aawsba.com.
We are committed to continue to raise high value show stock but at the same time we believe the key to lamb industries long-term growth lies in the Australian White breed. |
