[QUOTE="Green farmer, post: 5134196, member: 5969"] From terminal sires put to (not shedders) but Lleyn x’s, so similar framed ewes as a shedder, I found, texels......twins lambed lovely, lost a load of singles, all swollen heads. Charly....... very soft in outdoor conditions, lost some to rain. Suffolk........singles lambed unassisted ( I was surprised), but a few looses in twins. Ewes lost patience with slow twins where one couldn’t keep up and just stood around. So at the end of my observations this year, looking for alternative breeds or going to forget the terminals completely and just put everything to the maternal rams for lower quality but higher survival rate lambs.
