[QUOTE="neilo, post: 8010830, member: 348"] I use Highlanders from my April lambing flock as ET recipients, which lamb indoors. They are a doddle indoors or out, with none of the ‘let’s all lamb together in this corner’ nonsense. Anything that fails to hold the implanted embryo is covered on the first return and rarely has a single. Again, they just get on with it and are almost too quiet sometimes. On the MyoMAX, all of my maternal sires (bar one shedder recently) since 2008 have been double MyoMAX carriers, and the ewes were originally from a Texel base, so there won’t be many ewes that aren’t double carriers. It increases lean meat yield in the hindquarter (but NOT the loin) with no affect on lambing ease. It’s a free ride ime, but must go hand in hand with performance recording [USER=90692]@Kingcustard[/USER] , as I’ve posted previously, as you’ve already got & apparently like Easycares, and a supply of crossbred daughters, why not just try some of those in your existing early flock? I doubt a NZ Suffolk will help their temperament, but a Texel surely would? [/QUOTE]
