[QUOTE="Bwcho, post: 8011564, member: 32780"] Can I ask you [USER=70166]@hendrebc[/USER] whether you have changed over to Exlanas? Also, could I ask you [USER=348]@neilo[/USER] how you are getting on with the Exlanas? I hadn't realised until reading this thread that you had any, but knew you had the Charollais and Highlanders. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. To give context, I've got a closed flock of Texel x Welsh and Lleyns and will be looking at buying another ram this year in order to avoid in-breeding due to retaining more ewe lambs. I'm at a juncture where I either choose another Lleyn ram or take a leap of faith with the Exlanas. I do appreciate the recording work that goes on with Exlanas. Though, Lleyn has worked really well in terms of being a 'dual breed'. Wool is a loss making inconvenience as far as I'm concerned and I wouldn't miss it. However, as I wouldn't be getting rid of the current woolly ewes, so a full shedding flock and its benefits would be very much a long-term thing. [/QUOTE]
