Easy outdoor lambing ram,

[Bones]

What's out there to match the Charlie for lambing ease , but with out the cold barenes,? Has to be a good size of a ram ,not beltex, any idea's

 

[Ysgythan]

Beltex x Charolais? Logie Durno and Innovis customers seem to think if you use a crosser you get the best bits of both with no down side...

 

[glensman]

Roussin, berrichon

Don’t laugh but I bought 2 vendeen rams 2 yrs ago but ended up selling the ewes near lambing time, he had super lambs out of them and bought them off me for the next season. I know they aren’t fashionable but they weigh like lead and lamb like a char. Guy near Limavady has good rams for sale.

The right type of texel. One with a small head and narrow shoulders. Can be hard to find in the usual places like sales and markets though. Ive been using @easyram1 texels and have been very pleased with them

Plenty on here more experience with them than me, but I can vouch for charmoise for ease but also (important) hard as nails & just bounce up sucking tits.

Vendeen rams look ok

no doubt the texel is as hard as nails for outdoor lambing,

 

[unlacedgecko]

Easycares, first time lambers,

Tup them pure.

 

[neilo]

A better skinned Charollais? Not sure where you’d find them your side of the water though tbh.

I can get a supply of ewes from local neighbour, so would just like to cross them as I sell all lambs though live market,

Used Hampshire on my easycares last year. Very pleased with the lambs. Finished quickly off grass.

People have mentioned this before about easycares and Hampshire's, I had the ewes in a pen yesterday and they are small and narrow , thin looking , not what I'm used to , I just can't get my head around the fact that they will be fit to lamb the hampshire easily,
