[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 7438253, member: 461"] Why not top cross for (say) three generations with Cheviot. That's all it takes to go almost completely Cheviot. You can then decide to continue with them purebred, but initially it's vital to choose the right type of Cheviot. The North Country Cheviot (NCC) will give a bigger stretchier ewe, but if you have a hardish hill, the South Country (SCC)would give a blockier ewe with better ability to retain flesh in harsh conditions. The NCC should produce all polled offspring. The Lockerbie type of SCC will possibly produce more none-polled offspring. [/QUOTE]
