[QUOTE="mghley, post: 7648279, member: 937"] Cheviot mule is certainly very popular partly off the back of the fact that the NCM breeding has lost its way in recent years, too obsessed with dark faces and colour exacerbated by swale breeders being obsessed with coarse hair, coloured legs etc to the detriment of conformation. In my experience they don’t have quite as many lambs as a NCM (not always a bad thing as 3/4 crop NCM are buggers for having triplets) but certainly have a better and more valuable lamb. Went to Longtown last year and didn’t buy any for the first time in five years as seriously dear and hard to justify the price for good ewe lambs even when you do like them ! [/QUOTE]
