[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 7079975, member: 1819"] Do people only go self replacing because they don't want mules? Of course not, there are multiple reasons, health and animal background are the main reasons. Mules are in much shorter supply due to a huge drop in numbers of hill sheep which has also forced some to breed their own replacements. Why would people switch back? Well if they made an educated decision to switch to a self replacing system they must see advantages. It's not like they're jumping off a cliff to see how deep the water is, sane people don't just leap in and out of things. I don't have mules and don't want to have to buy replacements, mainly for because I only want ewes that are twins and I don't want to risk another flock's disease problems, but plenty have mules and are happy to pay strong prices for them and plenty breed their own mules and do fine with them.
