Im looking at what to tup a batch of ewes I was considering culling, but instead will keep for one last tupping *(all 3 crops) - cull reasons were mostly a mix of poorer growth rates (not bad but not my best) and scouring.
They're only being kept as I've been offered a bit of good sheltered winter keep at short notice which would suit them fine.
As such nothing will be retained from them - just fat lambs to slaughter.
I've been offered some Tex x Suf tups , both proven, one of which seems to have left some good lambs, the other seemed a bit more variable.
These Ewes have all been to the pure suff or hampshire the past 2 crops, but Id like to try something different.
Are theyir any major down sides?
