[QUOTE="Keepers, post: 4138856, member: 6535"] Have tried a couple of crossbred tups (sufftex and charollais x hampdown) I would say Inconsistent/variable lambs from both of them I guess it doesn't really matter if selling dead, but it matters a bit more when selling live. I'm not keen on it when some lambs end up with daggy bums when throwing to one breed in the make up and not to the other If I was to go for a crossbred type tup again, it would not be a mix of types such as down breed x continental (suftex) I would try something like a charolais x beltex or a mix between two whiter faced continental tups. In the hope that differences between lambs are not so black and white Apart from that, knock yourself out (y) plenty of types out there to pick from [/QUOTE]
