[QUOTE="Macsky, post: 5407194, member: 44120"] Couldn’t agree more, the whole exclusively grass fed thing might suit more milder climes in the south, but further north, and west, it just isn’t possible. You need your sheep to know what a feed bag is in the middle of a wet and windy winter! Up here you want your tups (usually bought as 2 shear if you’re after Hill Cheviots) grown slowly and steadily, definitely not spoilt, all the way through (they can stand still for a while but not go backwards) and then get a bit of hard feed in them in the last 6 weeks to give them a bit of backup and put a wee polish on them for the sale, sheep treated like this will be fit for plenty work and last a long time.
