[QUOTE="Al R, post: 6923335, member: 7565"] im hoping to cull 400 TexelX ewes this year and replace with another breed if I can find the available numbers. The 40 Aberfield x Texels have all gone before year 4, a 90+kg ewe with a pelvis like a washing machine who kills her own lambs or leaves them cast and bad mastitis problems is no good to me. Last year when I had the last 20, 5 had mastitis, the rest of the farm I only had 5-6 cases on 1200 ewes. the AF x Texel is also 6” taller than all my other sheep (taller than my pure BFL) which made them look bloody stupid when In with a group of TexelX or Mules which are usually closely matched.
