[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 8184801, member: 12099"] Yes fair enough. Scald is one thing and if you have problems they have to be dealt with....somehow..... in practice.. but imo it must be good feet are part of good breeding because else don't know what else is different here ,. ,Home bred ewes with just Rams with good genetics bought in, because in actual fact i cant remember the last time i actually trimmed a foot and rare to get even just a mild limper , which usually can be connected to / after a handling session. Myself ive never owned a turnover crate but i still think they could be better designed like clamps or even like on those steel bars that hold the sheep or the bit their back /side is resting on were covered with 'grip mat' like some clamps are would make them more comfortable and grippier /more fit for purpose. Also i must admit i havnt kept dorsets since aboutr 1988:oops: :sneaky: , just joking :D [/QUOTE]
