[QUOTE="andybk, post: 6962181, member: 347"] Having judged quite a few of a lot of these "new breeds" they do have a lot to offer in the right place for the right job , the biggest hurdle is real sheep men arnt selecting good commercial stock to start with,either through ignorance or they just dont care , poor teeth , poor feet ,awful bodies without feed Charollais and Texels were quite lucky in the 70s quite a few original importers were proper sheep farmers and they were quickly into a commercial situation , They all do themselves a disservice selling stock for such a high markup , whether the blacknose or these new dutch sheep because they will never get into a proper commercial enviroment and be properly tested , all that happens is the very poorest end up , getting used by commercial farmers and results will be obviously be dissapointing , i know the costs involved with bringing stock back from europe and the markups are quite outrageous in all but the best pedigrees .
