[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6436756, member: 348"] +1 We bought an outstanding ewe in 1992, who turned out to be an exceptional breeder. We started flushing 5 ewes a year in 1995, and for the next 10 years it was mainly that ewe and her offspring. That ewe’s genetics went on to make up most of the flock, along with a few rams that sold well of course. Roll on to 2018 and a ewe that can be traced back to that original bred the top index Charollais ram lamb (retained as stock ram). It was a relatively poor flush, in Charollais terms, with only 6 lambs born. I would consider the 5 females to be more valuable to me than that one ram lamb, even though he's Already bought in a couple of thousand in semen sales.:) [/QUOTE]
