MV accredited Mules

[Mutch]

How easy would it be to source N.C.Mule or Welsh Mule MV Accredited ewes? Are there many out there?

I believe many of the welsh mules sold through welshpool are mv accredited, I may be wrong....

There was someone on here last week 'advertising' (masquerading as a discussion thread) some mv accredited Welsh Mules IIRC. They were in South Wales I think, and me be running with a Texel ram by now.

If you have enough time to plan it, much better to test some of your own ewes up. 2 tests, 6 months apart (assuming you don't get a positive) and you have ewes/recips that are already acclimatised to your farm & bugs.

Not many mv recips out there (other than Lleyns), which is why they command a healthy premium.

My commercial ewes are mv accredited btw.
