Meatlinc

The Meatlinc is a British breed, in the Terminal Sire category, developed from a breeding program originated by Henry Fell in the early 1960’s.Originally a mixture of chosen individuals from five breeds, two British and three French, the Meatlinc evolved as a result of many years of rigorous and disciplined selection based on performance recording carried out under strictly commercial conditions.

The breed was closed to any further use of outside genetic material in 1975. It is thus a genuine pure breed with recognizable uniformity. It is amongst the biggest of the British breeds, a mature ram weighing 140 kg (over 300 lbs).
