[QUOTE="Anymulewilldo, post: 7206626, member: 144597"] The beltex on the swale makes a really nice long keep lamb! Can get them too 42/44kg easily straight off grass in late January. They are smudgy faced little buggers but I don’t mind that. It puts off the fancy men who want all white faces or all black faces and that suits me grand. Beltex x SBF are even better if I can find them! Personally I’d use a 3/4 texel 1/4 beltex on them. Stretch them out with the texel and put some arse in there with the beltex. 👍 old swale ewes ought to spit lambs out for fun. On good lowland ground 180%+ should be achievable. Then watch them bowl over when the grass staggers season starts... [/QUOTE]
