[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6969465, member: 348"] I sold my crossbred Texel flock in 2006, to step up the time I was putting into the dairy herd at home. Shat on by the old man, so looked to buy descendants of my old flock back in 2008 and that farmer happened to have used Hartlines over them, and had some Highlanders out of those Hartlines. I bought in 200 Hartlines x ewe lambs, and 60 Highlander x. Lambing them outside as ewe lambs, the Hartlines were good, but the Highlanders were better. I bought a Highlander ram to breed replacements that summer. They do what they say on the tin, thriving with minimal inputs and giving reasonable output. Twinning rate, longevity and mothering ability is superb, meaning I had a negative depreciation cost in last year’s COP figures. [/QUOTE]
