[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6515583, member: 348"] Since I've been using Beltex rams on my hoggs, I find that plenty can rear twins well, with not a lot of difference between the singles and twins (all on no concs or creep). I put it down to the slower growing Beltex lambs not having such a requirement for feed, so not dragging the hoggs down as much. Any time I've tried it with Charollais lambs on the same system, it's been a disaster. Charollais obviously grow a lot faster and make a better lamb, sooner, but that growth has to come from somewhere of course. [/QUOTE]
