Im sure this has been done to death, but after a search I wasn't really finding the info I was after.
How do the pure wedders do? Against all philosophy of 'easycare' I would still band the tails and balls. If I went down the Easycare ewe route, how should I expect the lambs to do/grow/fatten? Would they do similar to my Lleyns?
They'd be running on very old PP upland and hill (bracken).
I'm mainly looking at Easycares, as I can source them locally - there's breeders reasonably close, and a sale at Carlisle... What's the avg. prices for gimmers and the tups?
What sort of lambing % should I expect from them?
No, no... Dont panic - I'm not binning my current ewes!!
