as above really. Are they any good for fattening lambs?

Just having a chat amongst ourselves at home about our sheep flock. Have moved to an outdoor late lambing flock from an early lambing indoor flock. We still have a lot of Suffolk x mules which are grand old ewes but possibly not ideal for lambing outside on forage alone. We were hovering over...
