[QUOTE="neilo, post: 3261964, member: 348"] While I agree to a point, IIRC Bert was bought as a shearling at a ram/store sale, not as an aged ram from the culls, so I doubt the breeder knew of any issues beforehand. Many things can cause infertility/sub-fertility, most of them probably not inherited, and cudders just seem to happen at random (apparently). If [USER=5961]@Henarar[/USER] & [USER=6080]@farmerclare[/USER] want to breed Fluffheads :rolleyes:, then I'd not be in any particular hurry to cull his offspring. It's not as though efficient production was at the top of the selection criteria when he was picked out, after all (& I'm not having a dig with that comment). [USER=5961]@Henarar[/USER] , have you been in touch with the breeder? I know you didn't pay a fortune for him, but if he was sold as a breeder, then he should be that. [/QUOTE]
