1is the best grade where nithy sells his lambs! Why vivers are different from everyone else I don’t know!

My bad. 1 in my book is skin and bones.
Problem with this country, it would be too simple for everyone to use same grading system
Do they give a grade for conformation?Aslong as it's not the europ grid
1 is perfect
2 is fat
3 is lean.
They have a 'performance' table, 3 seasons ago I ranked #1 for the highest % of lambs graded as 1's don't think I've ever had a lamb graded 3.

Would you not chance a easycare tup, try something differentI've been dogged with a bad cold the last few days so wasn't feeling like venturing out in Ali this morning... that didn't last long, mind - had to clear 2 trees and several big branches off our farm road. There's plenty others down too, definitely 1 fence flattened but I think that's our only damage.
Not needing any Cheviots, I might buy 1 Lleyn next week at Carlisle and I'm needing maybe 2 Texels. I've ended up 20 ewes more than last year, after thinking I'd be 20 down!... CD tup sale is Friday so need to get my finger out and decide what I'm needing.
Cheviot gimmers are a mental trade

You supplementing the Suffolk tups with copper? Might help the dirty arses but best to check if required.Poor picture... almost forgot to take one
It all starts again! That's the Suffolk's out to their ladies...

The interest is more than mutual from all parties!!
Aye, ok they are dirty arsed but everything has been skittering with the amount of rain and grass growth the past 5-6 weeks!! They are actually very dry, they have been skittery but it has passed.
Let's hope for a better spring 2019

God almighty- your keen, late feb lambing!
But I suppose you do live much closer to the equator than me !
Now showing your boys in their working clothes may not be a huge help in explaining that not all Suffolk’s sh!t their brains out !
But I wish you and them a successful tupping !
