[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 6207682, member: 83588"] Definitely have a word with Prof Davies about the major genes. He's a very knowledgeable man. From what I glanced at of his stand at Malvern last year, the rams are now being genotyped. Had Cambridge rams a yonk ago, the first cross ewes needed keeping an eye on due to prolificacy (found Beltex a handy cross on them, but the world wanted lighter lambs back then) with second crosses (a milky line of Lleyn would be ok, we used the Polled Dorset of those days (milkier than more recent ones)) being easier to manage. Nice sheep, imo. There's still Cambridge influence in the flock, which is no problem. Moving away from higher percentage of Cambridge was nothing to do with the breed itself. [/QUOTE]
