[QUOTE="Muddyroads, post: 8274866, member: 81810"] I’ve had 3 black headed rams that I’ve run with Dorset ewes. Got them primarily for crossing onto first time lamberts as their heads are narrow. As said, their feet are the primary issue. Good back ends, breed out of season, finish on grass and taste good. When crossed with Dorsets they throw patterned lambs a bit like Jacobs and we’ve sold quite a few skins as a result. There was a South African guy who was on here for a few months who ran flocks on solar farms in the east of the country. Last I heard he was bringing embryos in with improved genetics to combat the feet problems but haven’t heard of his progress. [/QUOTE]
