[QUOTE="hubbahubba, post: 7075984, member: 4680"] I try and keep a few older ewes and normally ok but they tend to have 3 lambs and on a hard winter there more hassle as there worth, texel x's always seem to cope in there 6th lambing as mules do here. I dont mind drawing broken mouths out, means theyve lastest. I used to follow ewe lambs kept in year one and how many are there after 3 crops... i dont bother so much now. Big mules and nearly all texel x's are generally worth more as ewe lambs so we keep 160 and tup them all. Some years buy a few mule gimmers too and tup 800 in total. Around my area i dont have any facts but i suspect more people that have tried to get away from mules have went back to them,. I am not a huge fan of mules but some folks compare them to llyens lambing at 150% if mules were to do that they would be easy kept too, maybe struggle to get them to perform so low. [/QUOTE]
