[QUOTE="Top Tip., post: 4438802, member: 1078"] I agree totally with what you are saying they are a hill breed that are full of commercial attributes,they will produce a very saleable lamb of the hardest grazing. I too have had Blackface and Swaledale ewes but found that the Cheviot would produce a store lamb worth a tenner more and when they came to draft they were worth at least double,my experience with lambing % was that it increased as we went to pure cheviot,that was on a farm with over a 100 inches of rainfall per annum. As [USER=292]@Old Tip[/USER] said keep the skin tight and plenty length in them and they are great sheep. [/QUOTE]
