[QUOTE="Logie Durno sheep, post: 5407302, member: 2537"] It's quite interesting when we took the terminal sire breeds home from winter keep to go onto turnips we found they went back and didn't really ever catch up with the weather. The logies and logie blues were left on winter grazing the whole way and came out miles ahead in condition at shearing time end of may. If we could find enough winter grazing they would all stay at grass. Turnips is a back up plan for us when we run out of grass, ewes take priority and get grass over tup Hoggs. Biggest reason rams were leaner this year was because grass burnt off and fly's ate their heads from fighting daily. Genetics are the improved yearly, and I'm sure by shearing next year they will be the same adult size they would have been on a good year. [/QUOTE]
