texel x cheviot tup

[firther]

I crossed some cheviot ewes with a texel tup and I left a couple of lambs entire, just to see what happens.
There grass reared only and weighing 50plus kilos each(born early april)
Now i'm wondering whether to try 1 on a few ewes to see what they throw. As anyone ever had any good results with this cross

Lot of folk use that cross on Herdwicks round here

Having experimented with one last year I'd say go ahead he went on a dolly mixture really of crossbred ewes and had fantastic lambs he also caught a few blackies and he will be getting a lot of these this time round well impressed! !!!
