[QUOTE="Woolless, post: 7847028, member: 3403"] It's a balance between keeping older ewes that have proved their worth and bringing through younger genetics. As there are limited recorded Easycares about, sometimes I have to use non-recorded genetics and they don't always work out resulting in more females being demoted into the B flock. I will only keep an older ewe if I think she'll cope with another winter eating bales in a sacrifice field with a nice view of the North sea and do a decent job of her lambs. Sometimes I get that wrong, of course. Sometimes they manage that but are too slow to recover afterwards. The ewes in the B flock tend to be moved on a bit earlier. [/QUOTE]
