[QUOTE="andybk, post: 244631, member: 347"] good measured post , the charollais is naturally prolific 180+ is not uncommon , though kept pretty commercially here so i wouldnt flush keep a few more ewes and be happy with 160% , some charollais as you say have a very short lactation and these tended to be the more popular flocks that have been imported , there are others that milk quite well , the french were working on that some years ago dont know where they are now , maybe its something we should work on a bit harder within the breed , problem is quite a few popular flocks that are influential to the future direction are transplanting into milky recipients , so we are loosing touch with the rearing side . charollais mule isnt really going to work unless your lambing inside and out onto decent grass , to much leicester heritage both sides [/QUOTE]
