The result of that consistently gives commercial lamb producers flexible market options for both domestic and export markets. The White Suffolk breed and the Seriston objectives also give breeders the ability to use these genetics in self-replacing flocks.
Seriston consistently ranks in the top line up of royal and country shows around Australia. One highlight was Seriston Suffolk winning the renowned group of 3 rams at Adelaide in 2012. Others include numerous championships at various country shows.
