They had high prices for fancy stuff at the Exlana sale this year, but the 'fancy' was based more on the ebvs than the bonny heids and bloom dip.
you can’t bloom hair. Give it time...

Or have a green tinge from their own grass coloured sh!t after being in the trailer on the way there like your Charollais straight out of the field.Spray tan, assuming @Tim W could stop them jumping out of the booths?
Or just graze them on those red Devon soils just before the sale...
Just to say they weren't covered in sh!t or anything just looked like they had been rubbing against each other like normal sheep. It was quite noticeable when the pens either side were yellow from bloom. I know which colour I'd rather haveOr have a green tinge from their own grass coloured sh!t after being in the trailer on the way there like your Charollais straight out of the field.

The colour & consistency of the muck in sale pens can be very telling, even with those breeders that actually remove the troughs before the buyers arrive. Hard, light brown pellets don't generally coming from grazing owt.
Had a text from a tup client last night. He'd killed 18 tup lambs off a tup bred by me, 19.67kg average: 11 x U3L, 2 x U3H, 1 x U4L, 3 x R3L, 1 x R3H. Well in front of his other Easycare lambs and similar to his Texel x lambs.
Well, nothing gets in the sale pen here if there's if there has been assistance of any type at lambing and I've yet to have complaints about any tup I've sold regarding lambing ease.What would they be like to lamb compared to 'other easycares' or indeed texels?
Do do you cobalt the lambs with dirty arses to dry them up. I was trying some copper to see if that was the issue in Suffolk Cross mule lambsSpent day dagging / cobalt drenching lambs. Flystrike still an issue here. All sired easycare and lleyns were spotless, no dirty behinds. The majority of charolais thrived well and loads weighed like lead, but the ones that didnt, were right dirty. Easycare ewe lambs have lovely tiny narrow little heads on them that bodes well for easy lambing. Overall the charolais nudged out the others for weight gain, but also needed added labour of dagging. Probably run both breeds of sires again other then lleyn who died and wont be replaced until we see how the easycares pan out.

Could be cobalt deficiency.What's the story with scabby ears, a few of my cross lambs have that and aren't doing
A week ago my Meatmaster, shedders, looked really plain next to my Texel and TexelFinn ram hoggets, Texel and TexelFinn hoggets were shorn on Thursday and now they look really plain next to the Meatmasters, wool makes a huge difference.Wondering if I should just breed them pure and sell the Ewe lambs I don't need and leave the tups entire and hang them up.
A lot of the tup lambs looked plain but they are obviously deceiving with their tails on and no wool like the mule x texels and mule x Suffolk lambs I currently breed.
Would be good to see some pictures on the FB group if you can.

This style comes with the advantage of being horny as well.
Bold of you to assume I was referring to the bits sticking out of his headYou really are at the other end of the world if you see those feckers sticking out of his head as being an advantage in any way.
