They’re a very commercially orientated breed, ewes need to be well bred in order to perform and last in a harsh environment, so when you’re looking at a two shear, you have got a fair idea about the sort of sheep you are buying, and they don’t need to be pushed hard to get into sale condition at that age, which helps their own longevity. Love the breed, it’s a fairly honest trade still. Compare that with £200k for a painfully ugly lamb.......Why are most cheviots sold as 2shears?
