[QUOTE="livestock 1, post: 7752591, member: 106502"] It doesn’t bugger them up as such but it does alter them a lot and doesn’t half take it out of them and age them. If you imagine it’s one thing buggering a bout on a fell with a single little swaley lamb to cater for compared to having a pair of big mule lambs sucking them inbye. Usually a swale ewe is best put to the Leicester tup around three crop otherwise it just buggers her up as before that age she is still growing out and developing strength. This is why swale draft ewes are so dear. Theoretically you would think it’s better to go out and buy shearlings or gimmer lambs for replacements to breed mule lambs but it isn’t and if you do that you aren’t straight into action if you follow me. They really need to be three crop then go to Leicester [/QUOTE]
