Currently have 400 indoor lambing mules and texel/mules. I bought 15 sucked hoggets and 25 ewe lambs to try over the next year. Ewe lambs purchased for £105 weighing roughly 45kg in September and sucked hoggets for £150 at around 60-65kg. Tupped half with Charollais and other half to beltex. Lambing will start on 1st April outside. 90% tupped in 4 weeks but left tups in for 6 weeks.
Observations so far-
- I expected feet to be better than mules but haven't seen much difference so far which is a little disappointing.
- They are break out of most fields I put them in
Will update this as I go, any advice welcome.
