Thanks, I'll be judging them pretty harshly!I'm not expecting them to grow or grade like a Charollais, they are here to try them for maternal traits and to try as a terminal on hoggs. From my small sample, and all maiden shearlings, they don't appear to have as good a natural mothering instinct as the Highlander. I won't be retaining any females anyway, unless I'm short on numbers later on and decide to keep a few of the Highlander Hoggs' lambs back.
Good luck with yours, we'll look forward to the reports....
