[QUOTE="H Evs, post: 6971600, member: 149003"] That’s so helpful, thanks! We’re aiming for BFL anyway, going to hire one for the first few years as we know a breeder and can’t justify buying a tup for so few ewes. Interesting info about putting hoggs to the tup, we may try for a year and see what suits! We’ve hay making equipment so not worried about closing a field off to crop and then feed out in the winter. I’m glad you’ve had a good lambing - weather has been exemplary!! I’ve also heard good things about Rouge tups (so much so that they’re being crossed into beltex flocks in some places ?) if you can keep them alive! We could go for more Chevs, but only really want them to make the mules and replacements for the main flock. What would you say capacity for the established grass would be? We may have the option to winter graze on dairy pasture. Thanks, Hettie [/QUOTE]
