[QUOTE="Girlfarmer, post: 3263694, member: 19284"] Scanned first batch today. Our 4+ shears scanned at 248%, younger ones at 219% and 236%. Overall scanned at 234%. This was with no flushing and purposefully running them on poor hill ground before and during tupping. Texel mules and twice crossed texels. We've always had high lambing %, even when we had Swaledales, and have always bred our own replacements. I guess the power of genetics in prolificacy must be very strong as it doesn't seem to make any difference no matter how we manage them! Last year, first batch also averaged 234% including empties. Would love to get it closer to 200%. I'm feeling tired just thinking about lambing time now :( [/QUOTE]
