Following on from the Beltex thread, which is the best terminal ewe?
In my opinion it would be the Suffolk, providing she is crossed with another breed, not too difficult to lamb & plenty of milk. Pure Suffolk lambs usually a challenge though. Oddly enougth though last two seasons I've been helping a forage customer with her pedigree Suffolks & her pure lambs have been fine.
Perhaps more relevent which is the best Terminal cross ewe, again I think Suffolk but there are many more Texel cross Mules about now than Suffolk cross. I think that is a shame purely bred because the Texel whether is worth more than the Suffolk.
