[QUOTE="dunk999, post: 4134022, member: 20952"] Breeding the scc pure at the moment to try build numbers up to where I can cross to the blue face instead of buying in. The ewes aren't big but gee they are solid nice shape as well. I was very hesitant about trying them but the gamble looks to be paying off I would say as an average my weaning weight would be 37kg [USER=13648]@reverand[/USER] I would agree keep cheviot mules where the ground allows it doesn't matter how many fec or blood tests you do if the ground or pasture is not great then forget keeping big ewes better with a cheviot producing 130% the ewe lambs breeding premium will compensate for the missing lambs.
