[QUOTE="pgk, post: 4168710, member: 1371"] Definitely the longer narrower faces for easier births. We have just bought a flock of high index texels who have been selected for narrower longer heads and slightly narrower shoulders. The big value of the meat being in the loins and gigots so why have extreme size in heads which go in the bin and shoulders which are a lower value cut. We bought our first texel last year to cover the old ewes as an experiment. You would not believe the trouble we had in finding one with narrower head and shoulders. Only had to pull one, both legs back, all the rest lambed unassisted in the field. One that was pulled was an over fat lleyn ewe. Half breds out of lleyns, easycare and easycare lleyns all look like u grade lleyns with slightly wider head see attached ewe lamb pic.[ATTACH=full]567132[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
