[QUOTE="MJT, post: 7558807, member: 33400"] Feel free to PM me . Run over 1000 Inverdale ewes bred from own Welsh and chev ewes. Depends on your ground and system whether they will suit you or not, if you’re on sort of ground where mules wouldnt perform at all Then the inverdales would be something to consider . People who have silly amounts of triplets or quads with them are on a too good a ground for them, this year we only had one quad scanned and I think one triplet ewe had an extra lamb too. Also find that even if they are having 3 they seem to carry the triplets a lot better than mules ever did, bugger all prolapses (only have 5 harnesses and never used them all) and less twin lamb . Not flushed ours do 190% in an average year, key to it is checking ewes BCS a few times in the months prior to tipping . If they’re a 2 then they get slightly more grass but if they’re 3 or above then old perm pasture and not much of it is ideal for them . And leaves the autumn grass growth for the lambs and autumn calving cows . With regards to leasing the rams from Innovis, it’s expensive and there are alternatives which you can PM me about also.
