[QUOTE="Jackson4, post: 244864, member: 1180"] Interesting stuff CW... I wont have any experience of them as 50% maternal until this crop comes but people mention they have a good crop and are milky for a terminal so i thought it would make them the better terminal ewe? [COLOR=#ff0000]I wouldn't put the charollais back onto the charollais cross is what i meant[/COLOR], just because i lamb early in the pennines and my land goes up to the moor so i think 3/4 charly would be hard work for the little blitters... but again my 1/2 charlies, although looking wretched, have lived and gone as quick as my other breeds. Also, i have very easy lambing sheep, probably because they dont have such an extremely muscley backend and so i'm thinking of adding an extreme type like a beltie/texel etc as a terminal and hope they'll still lamb them ok, but sell better live? Dont know? I guess it comes down to the ewe you start with and the breeder you buy the charlies off. Maybe neil can tell us how his milk? [/QUOTE]
