[QUOTE="MJT, post: 6520101, member: 33400"] The breeds got a bad name , not helped by a lot of the big breeder/feeders. You can go to Carlisle and see tups with massive heads bent legs and hideously obese but selling for thousands. I think it’s a breed that needs a big kick up the arse to be honest. They have a hell of a lot of potential and if tested correctly they’re very functional sheep . My pedigree ewes spend all their lives with the rest of the commercial flock, only being separated for a week or so at lambing and tupping. From furthest fields to sheep sheds is a mile and a half, over the years the ewes that have poorer lung capacity and can’t manage the trip have culled themselves out. I’ve had bugger all luck buying tups from sales, whether this is due to me not molly coddling them or whatever I don’t know but in my opinion this shouldn’t be needed..... Sell all rams as lambs, straight off grass expecting them to work and not melt away . A [/QUOTE]
