[QUOTE="Woolless, post: 6355668, member: 3403"] Hello [USER=23010]@emilyanne[/USER]. I don't know how much recording/selection you do but my suggestion would be to form an 'A' flock which you put to the Romney with enough ewes in it to give you the replacements you need. Anything you're not so keen on or gives you hassle can go in the 'B' flock to tup with your choice of terminal sire. Ear notching is a low tech way to do this or by EID. This should bring your average lamb weaning weights up. Would it be so much hassle to have three tupping groups? Alternatively, would the ewe hoggs not lamb OK to a Romney? This would also cut numbers of ewes required in the 'A' flock. Or a Charolais could possibly do both jobs? Or Beltex? [/QUOTE]
