[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5585548, member: 63856"] Definitely, no shortage of extremely functional and prolific sheep, everywhere. Your choice really depends on how well you can feed them over the year, in that respect you certainly have the diversity to be able to source the right genetics. I have hill type sheep here, try to feed them consistently and they look after me - it really isn't rocket science despite the claims - it is what issues you see and how you address them, that is the problematic part, in my experience.... bandaids become recurring, often habitual expenditure So your 'non run of the mill' breed of choice is not really limited, just buy from the right people for the right reasons, is my advice. Steer clear of animals from a "better" (i.e. worse?) farm system than your own, as per my above posts re. selection pressure, as your taxpayer is still "flushing the ewes" if you catch my drift?
