TexX ewes - which Tup to use?

[Bill dog]

I've not lambed hoggs for about 8 years

Rose tinted glasses - I just remember letting them do their own thing and never had any issues. If lambs were getting a bit big or stuck, I'd shut them onto a very bare field



It can't be that easy... was it? (That was Lleyn hoggs lambing to Lleyn tups)

I’ve 2 mobs of Hoggs to tup. 1 to the beltex’s ( gator n Nithy!), and 1 mob to the lleyn . I want a living lamb from them, that’s all. Hopefully both will pop out in glorious sunshine in mid April , and all will be well !

The limited experience I've had with Lleyns (small traditional sorts) I would believe it could have been that easy.
We bought a few last year and I like them.so far.

Make sure you stick with the small traditional type and you will be fine with them. Don't be tempted by the big rangey type they're shite.

The one I’m thinking of I don’t think he’s a troller, just an expert lamb finisher, always got his name in the paper, you know the sort!

Anymulewilldo was called an expert lamb finisher in a market report this spring with some blackface hoggs and someone picked up on it in the price tracker. He's never heard the end of it
