[QUOTE="Old Tip, post: 4438590, member: 292"] I will throw my head on the block and say unless your on reall hard ground you can’t beat a Lairg type Cheviot, I’ve had blackies and Swales in the past and all have been replaced. Lots of folk say they need to have dry hills but we get a lot more rain than most and they do fine. I do pick the tips with good tight wool but with a bit of length and a good undercoat. You won’t get as many lambs as with a swale or as bonny a heads as a blackie but the Sheep and lambs will be worth more in a commercial market and the wool actually pays you a profit. The other good thing about the Cheviot is he has really strong genes, first cross on anything he leaves his stamp and at second cross they look like a pure bred. Our two horned friends when crossed with other breeds look like mungrels for a long time. What do you say [USER=1078]@Top Tip.[/USER] and [USER=2665]@west coast angus[/USER] [/QUOTE]
