Well saidWell yes, that is one option of course...
But what I actually meant is that there are examples in all breeds, of sheep that can lamb easily. Plenty of UK Texel X lambs are born in outdoor lambing flocks all over the UK, just pick the rams. There are also examples of Charollais sheep that are wedged the wrong way round these days, as the same mistakes are being made in that breed as in all the others. I remember judging a show once and standing watching the sheep being led in, then lined up in front of me. There was one (as it turns out expensively bought) shearling ram that I could see both back legs between his front ones! The owner didn't like being placed bottom...
In short, pick the ram, not the breed, IMO.
