[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6925268, member: 348"] They were extremely variable at one stage, as the kiwi geneticists making the breeding decisions refused to consider ‘type’ as in any way important. I’ve not seen a large cross section of the breed recently, but I suspect Innovis would be trying to breed them to more of a type. I’ve resorted to breeding my own as much as possible, as I don’t particularly wish to pay into a corporate marketing operation any more than I need to, especially as they don’t seem too concerned about health status and finding Mv accredited sheep is complicated. They do what they say on the tin ime, and have always thought they could have made much bigger inroads in the UK if they had considered a little selection on type from an earlier stage. Loose coated, woolly headed sheep crossed on Blackies by [USER=461]@Agrivator[/USER] ‘s neighbours were never going to be sheep that would appeal to anyone that bases the value of a sheep on the curl of it’s horns.?
