[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6512794, member: 348"] Not ‘softer’ imo, but don’t tend to last very long (how many Beltex rams do you see in the cull mart?). Easy lambing & easy finishing ime, which is why I use them on ewe lambs now. Certainly not very fast growing though, so expect them to be later to market weights (if they get there) than those from bigger breeds, assuming the same ewes. Confirmation great of course, but you need a serious premium to make up for the kilos missing when bred to a mature ewe. From a ewe Hogg, the slow growth means they don’t drag the mothers down as much, even to the extent of being able to rear twins easily enough here. [/QUOTE]
