[QUOTE="Sheepfog, post: 7538271, member: 2089"] Very happy with my Aberfield crossbred ewes. Great mums - although that probably comes from the hill ewe. Don't scan ridiculously high:180-190% which is plenty for outdoor lambing. Lamb quality a step up from mules. But, I would be very wary of buying an Innovis bred sheep in the future as their health status just isn't consistent enough. I know of a few farmers who have had problems with iceberg diseases in bought in rams. IMHO all their multipliers should be MV accredited and tested clear of other iceberg diseases. For replacements I am planning to put a Logie maternal hybrid onto these ewes having heard good reports from other farmers. Logie Durno also have a very high health status, which is important as my whole flock is now all MV accredited for ease of management. [/QUOTE]
