[QUOTE="Troward, post: 8771117, member: 162391"] I'm also interested in Easydams so am looking into 2 for this year to go over some romtex. I've always been a bit baffled by how much better I find the home bred romtex to the nz romney (for quite a few traits, not just carcass. The tex bit is british and the rom bit is nz), and obv put a lot of that down to hybrid vigour as you mention.....I'm not particularly clued up with genetics, so sorry if this is a thick question, but you mention the composite still having hybrid vigour.... Tefrom and other similar bases for Easydam perform stupidly well when looking on SIL. How much of that is just down to hybrid vigour? Surely in a composite that hybrid vigour will quickly wither down to nothing when it keeps being crossed with itself? I also see that they can be quite a bit bigger than a nz rom, so is that the main reason behind the major growth rates? [/QUOTE]
