Gulf Coasts are adapted to the hot and humid conditions of the Southeast, continuing to produce and raise at least one lamb each per year without intensive management.
Studies comparing Florida Native sheep to Hampshires and Rambouillets at the University of Florida have shown that although the Florida Native produces lighter finished lambs in the same period as other breeds, they have a higher live lamb percentage production and a better ratio of lambs finished to ewes mated.
