[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7583717, member: 8735"] If I were you I'd buy from someone you know, or know of by reputation from people with opinions you trust. Anything else is a fool's gamble... the points above about forcing are valid for shearlings and lambs. :( We started a new flock here about six years ago, not Texels, and have bought five rams in since then and bred others, we've kept and used the very best and sold on the 'nearlys'. Now we have what we want - and, at last after mistakes, a fair eye for replacements - we'll only be buying a ram in every few years and then just for a specific trait(s)*. *Currently getting our shedders' tails shorter and less haired; happy to hear from anyone with similar aims.
