Primeline Crusader is Lambpro’s wool-shedding maternal line, developed for producers who want to reduce labour and wool-related cost without stepping away from high-performance lamb production. By combining the proven maternal strength of the Primeline Maternal program with the shedding gene, Primeline Crusader delivers a more labour-efficient sheep system while maintaining the traits that matter commercially.

Importantly, Primeline Crusader is bred with the same market objective as Primeline Maternal. The focus is on producing lamb that works in the paddock and fits the end market — heavily muscled, with optimum fat and marbling for domestic market requirements, alongside the growth and meat yield to support premium programs such as Willow Bend Lamb. With the ability to achieve up to 6% IMF at 30kg, Primeline Crusader offers producers a genetics option that aligns labour efficiency with premium product outcomes.

For producers looking to simplify their operation without compromising market relevance, Primeline Crusader represents a practical breeding solution shaped by commercial reality.
