[QUOTE="Hill Ground, post: 8714131, member: 174902"] I worry the top spec ewes you think of buying will have been looked after the same as the rams your trying to replace, and have the same high maintainance requirements!! You might find you need to feed these ewes pretty hard just to get them to stand still, and to breed any tups to meet your expectations I think you may have to feed them well to. In my humble opinion mature weight of the tup is fairly irrelevant. For your terminal sire you want them to killing weight ASAP. Pick your best shaped, fasted growing tup lamb, don't feed him, and don't stress to much if he's never a monster. Your shearers will thank you if nothing else!!! [/QUOTE]
