[QUOTE="andybk, post: 6947948, member: 347"] agreed , see plenty of fantastic show type ewes in the breed , yet the owners of such ewes often use mainly ET to produce rams , one of the first things i learnt when recording was often your best ewe was that structurally sound , poor thin one in the corner , that gave everything to her twin / trip lambs to get up to weight , and got in-lamb first cycle next time she saw the ram , no doubt that fantastic shaped ewe will provide excellent terminal traits , but she at least needs to rear her own lambs and look after them to some degree if only for the future of the breed .
