[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 6921626, member: 1819"] Funny you say that, a mate had Cheviot ewes put to Roussin and Highlander, and says he'd choose the Roussin. I'd guess they won't have enough birth cost to allow you to mate them to your Char either, certainly not up this way anyway, but they're fine crossed to a Texel. We had our first Roussin lambs this year, and having lambed most breeds, I've never seen anything like them for ease of birth and vigour, they aren't Beltex type shape, but I'm guessing they'll be mostly U's. For me they aren't really comparable as I wouldn't have a Beltex for a ewe. Plus I don't have the down side of seeing Beltex tups every day :) [/QUOTE]
