[QUOTE="JockCroft, post: 8117302, member: 166068"] Having worked with NCC since the later 60's, black lambs have gone through the cycle of popularity a few times. Was told by my father that a few shepherds would not let a black tup lamb survive. Thinking back to my early years dont remember black wedder lambs at sales. The odd black ewe lamb sold had novelty value and often sold at a very good price. For some reason I hated shearing black cheviots, something in the wool irritated our skin. Never lambed any black ones but most of the ones I was about were pets. As an aside the modern Cheviot is smaller, more maternal but not as fleshy compared to 50 years ago. [/QUOTE]
