I haven't seen Hampshires mentioned much, yet I know many who use them north of the border and have excellent results. To me they are an exciting breed that could go places. I have read that 40% of the lambs born in the breed are from recorded flocks, which means they have their commercial heads on (IMO as it is commercially driven not show driven).
If I were selling deadweight, I think I would buy some Hampshires and quietly get on with things while I left everyone else to argue about which is better, Texel or Suffolk?
(Should also say that I like both Suffolks and Texels and it is difficult to generalise so important to ensure you buy from the right breeder with a commercial nature).
