[QUOTE="Ysgythan, post: 3656128, member: 8724"] I see your points entirely. I record without chasing figures. The figures are what they are pretty much at random. We do get lambs quite high up in figures even then, but that's because we've been doing it since 2007 and we do ET. To get consistent top 5% lambs is just like showing, feeding competitions or any other "elite" you have to breed for it. You can't just let it to chance. For others that's fine, for us the risk is greater than the reward. But this isn't about us or our stock. There just aren't enough people recording. If you want more you have to cut flocks of 20 or less sheep some slack, not in terms of the figures themselves, but financially or it will never do what it says on the tin and we're all wasting our time.
