3 way composite containing Romney East Friesian and Texel. So NO they are not Highlanders as they have no Finn in them and have been sourced from flocks dominating the very top of the SIL Dual Purpose ( Maternal) with meat Index.Have you got a few more details??
Do you have any photos?3 way composite containing Romney East Friesian and Texel. So NO they are not Highlanders as they have no Finn in them and have been sourced from flocks dominating the very top of the SIL Dual Purpose ( Maternal) with meat Index.
Aim is a moderate sized mature ewe Av 65Kgs scanning at 200%. In NZ the only ewes introduced into their flocks will have had to lamb as Ewe Lambs and then recovered to weigh at least 60Kgs when tupped as yearlings.
How much East Friesian is in them?3 way composite containing Romney East Friesian and Texel. So NO they are not Highlanders as they have no Finn in them and have been sourced from flocks dominating the very top of the SIL Dual Purpose ( Maternal) with meat Index.

Yes but they need hunting down. We are just revamping our website and that will have lots of PICs within the next 10 days. I will try to put some here as soon as poss.Do you have any photos?
Yes Mr Bill dog but you already give us very favourable reviews and I assume that will continue that policy even with the cheapo EasyRam you snaffled ( 2nd hand) off one of your neighbours last year ?@easyrams- I could take a ram and use him on my ewes and report back on the offsprings good traits / bad traits. If you looked favourably on me price wise, I’m sure the report back would be most favourable !
I’m interested as well
Are you breeding anything that sheds it's wool yet?? The future in sheep?Our new EasyDams maternal composites will be spot on for this.

Careful now, you'll be upsetting @NZDan ?Started 50% Romney 25% Texel and 25% East Friesian to get milkiness early female sexual maturity and prolificacy into mix and then reduced. Not sure what current % is and probably breeders don't know either. The only thing that our source flocks are certain about is that they are not based on any Finn. I understand Finn used mainly in N Island composites. Our flocks all from Southland.
Oh I bet they won'tSounds very much like what the Highlander does tbh, but I guess a different marketing machine is promoting those. I dare say both would do a very similar job.
What are your thoughts on a maternal tup to put over mainly 3/4 texels for breeding replacement ewes?
We are just finishing lambing and I’ve had to intervene with to many, what breeds are going to inject some maternal traits back into the flock. Thanks.
I can not comment on Highlanders as I have no direct experience of them. The flocks we have sourced stock from certainly use tups from one another and from other flocks to maintain linkages but none of them as far as I aware use or have ever used Highlanders.Sounds very much like what the Highlander does tbh, but I guess a different marketing machine is promoting those.

Not upset at all, I used to have East Fresians, they grew well and made exceptional hoggets and really good 2ths. They were Ok as 4ths and mostly gone after that.Careful now, you'll be upsetting @NZDan ?
