I am looking to increase our flock from 1300 to 2000 maybe 2500 ewes in the next few years. Looking for sheep breeds that don't need messing about with and would be able to lamb outside without assistance and do their lambs well. I'd like to do away with lambing inside as it stops us from being able to keep more suckler cows or fatten more lambs and cull ewes. My thought is that the more sheep I can keep and manage myself the better off the farm would be.
My first thought would be lambing draft ewes but would like to know what others think.
