Welcome

Welcome to the common homepage of the sheep breeders association of Lower Saxony.

As  a consulting organization you can contact us in questions of breeding, keeping and feeding of sheep. We also organize and manage (sales events such as) auctions.

We are exporting sheep (East Friesian Milksheep, Suffolk, Blackheaded Meatsheep, Texel) to different countries within and outside Europe. 

Five auctions are scheduled to take place in Lower Saxony in the summer months. One site of auction is in Cloppenburg. It is recognized as an European collecting point. Breeding stock (East Friesian Milksheep, Texel and Berrichon du Cher) can be directly loaded and transported to other Eurorpean countries. The next public sale called "Sheep days North-West" will be on Thursday, the 4 August to Friday 5 August 2022 in Cloppenburg. We are looking forward to see you. For further informationen please contact the office.

Every other year sheep of selected breeds are presented at the "EUROTIER" fair in Hanover. The next fair fair will be from the 12.-15. November 2023. The fair stands will be organized by the sheep breeders associations from Lower Saxony and Bavaria.  There will be different breeding sheep races as: Merino Landsheep, East Friesian Milksheep, Texelsheep, Suffolk, Blackheaded Meatsheep, Merino Meatsheep, Coburger Foxsheep and the Dorper.

All races are of high interest for exporting. For more information you are invited to visit us on our fair stands. We talk English and Russian. We are proud to present the diversity of races and the high quality of the German sheep breeding.

We are looking forward to your email or to your phone call:
