blue de maine ram

[dave mountain]

my 5yr old supposedly 'whistles and bells' beltex has had it ....but ok for terminal rams.....so was thinking about a maternal type cos my exlana/wilt has rather to many 'daughters' in flock.......only a small flock so don't mind something a little bit more 'needy'....just not beltex 'needy' .....collectives opinion?.......what feet like?

get a suffolk and be done with it

Got a Texel ram lamb here, late born twin from an embryo donor. She’s 5 years old and never been shorn. Averages over 2 lambs a year (without counting the embryos). You can see her and the twin gimmers she reared last year. Don’t tell anybody else I’m offering him to you mind.

300 miles east west....can you post it

No I've gone a bit off topic there's no BDM in it

Is it a cuddly-wuddly Beltex?

It's a Dutch Texel X BFL.

Tin hat on

Is that not a fancy Aberfield

 

[Aspiring Peasants]

I don't know quite what an Aberfield is, but if mine's a fancy Aberfield I hope they sell them for well under £250

FYI, an Aberfield is a Texel x BFL, but supposedly stabilised (no longer a first cross throwing some like each parent) and with generations of performance recording on both sides. Plenty are selling first cross, unrecorded Texel x BFL as 'Aberfields', which they obviously aren't.

And no, they wont be under £250, or have the shape of your fella.
