[QUOTE="CharcoalWally, post: 4129828, member: 3171"] I thought I'd test the same two breeds face to face 20 odd years ago , and for production , the Mule won hands down. The NCC ewes gave away so many lambs that there was simply no way they could compete with the Mule on ease of keep , which , theoretically , they should be able to do. To be honest , I've tried a few other breeds against the Scotch Mule over the years and all have come up short for some reason or another. There's a lot to be said for a straightforward ewe with a broad range of maternal traits that doesn't focus on a trait extremity. Don't think the NCC ewe should really be compared to the Mule to be honest. I think they're for two different jobs. (y) [/QUOTE]
