And a damned good ram he was too. I’m glad he worked well for you.?
ExcellentHope this works
Video of the ram lambs I have heading to builth tomorrow!
Has the texel become too hard lambing with the beltex getting bigger people may switch.Its strange how breeds change due to farmer demands then when theres a problem farmers abandon the breed iv also noticed the charolais rams i buy are getting hardier but bigger at birth look at the demise of the suffolk its not the breeders fault its farmer demand which ruined the breedIt was noticeable that the Beltex ring stayed busy all day, but when I popped into the Texel ring after lunchtime, it was very quiet. A few faces who would always have been Texel buyers in the past stayed in the Beltex ring all day and were buying tups.
Certainly, there's plenty of Texel tups can be bought at other marts, but the Beltex is on the rise at these other centres too. Be interesting to see the trade at UA tomorrow.

Any beltex breeders here know of an import ram called the bulldog?
Bishop had him, used a lot of him aswell I think always in the background in any of his breeding

Would his daughters be any good do you think?

I've got to the bottom of it now,
The beltex shearlings I'm looking at are sired by freckelton Bradley who is a son of woodies Arthur and their dam is from a son of Matt's time square...
Grand dam goes back to clary Kaiser chief.
That's a load of cod fish to me but maybe it means something to someone..
