We currently run Mule and Mule cross Texel ewes. Lambing indoors. Producing replacement from the Mule flock all
Lambs finished off grass. These Mules are now coming to the end of their productive life and I’m looking to replace them. I’ve read some positive things about the Highlander with a view to the future and keeping a closed flock and breeding replacements from these. I realise they are probably better suited to outdoor lambing. We have a bit of a problem with Red Kites and Corvids so my father has in the past been reluctant to lambing outdoors due to the carnage they could cause. I know I’m opening a can of worms here but interested to hear your thoughts. Also if anyone is likely to have Highlander tupping ewe lambs available this autumn I’d be very interested. Thanks
