Dutch spotted sheep

[andybk]

I just hope they listen to the commercial market , and not get too caught up in the showing circles , or will go the same way as zwartbles

I could , but zero interest thanks all the same! I bought a zwartble ewe and tup lamb off her 3 yrs ago ( mostly to shut the kids up) . Both sheep were appalled by the sights of Ayrshire, and lack of troughs brimming with cake, and promptly snuffed it!
They now use the zwartbles as recipients for these new smallholders dream sheep !
But you could always invite her up to your nithsdale utopia , she's a professional photographer to trade! A few snaps of your Suffolks could really help your push for national Chairman

Looks like a zwartable crossed with a beltex to me?

thats my initial opinion as well .

 

[spin cycle]

i quite like the look of them....nice and long

They are a fair size sheep according to the breed society website, are they the new blue texel?

I saw these in the Royal Welsh, they looked meaty, but a quick feel revealed that it was mostly wool. Very disappointing!
I don't think they have anything to offer that other breeds could not better

I saw some at the Great Yorkshire show, they won a few rosette's, and had crowd around them, they didn't look anything special tbh. I only looked at them as they were next to some Charmoise ewes [emoji12]

Any questions welcome will be happy to answer anything relevant
Also if anyone is wanting a flock walk, tyre kickers or other, our doors are always open!
One thing I will point out is that it’s easier for people to take photos when said sheep are at a feed trough! I can assure you all they are excellent at converting grass.

Best use those photographic skills of yours , and get some snaps up to show us all the future of sheep !
