Has anyone had any experience with aberfield x Cheviot ewes? Just wondering how folk found the aberfield x and what the scanning % of the above cross would be like on a lowland farm?
Some may call us lowland but I wouldn’t, I’d call us upland and on old permanent pasture. Gimmers bought from @scrubbuster did a smidge over 200%.to a hill cheviot tup. They were run in the same group as our other cheviot gimmers who averaged 145%. They’re big sheep and look a bit silly in the field next to our cheviot gimmers. Somewhere in the middle would suit us.
We’ll be putting more aberfields out for next year, this years crop of ewe lambs are looking decent at the minute having just weaned them.
