Run from sea level upto about 1750feet. Half mules lamb end of feb early march and creep fed and other half 3rd week in march and off grass with hill ewes lambing in April.All mules have been lambing inside last few years but mid march mules lambed outside this year because of the good weather.wondered if the romneys would be ok up the hill after weaning?thinking if they need less feeding etcYour Location will help!
Also what kind of land and system do you run?
How have you got on with the highlanders?and what breed did you have before changing?A few years ago I was thinking of going for them as I’m closing he flock and self replacing. I’m also wanting to reduce workload and lamb outdoors.
I went for highlanders as I was worried about potential prolapse problems in the Romney’s and also didn’t like the fact that a man running 1000 of them told me if have to shear their bellies pre lambing to help lambs find tits.
The highlanders are also slightly smaller and easier kept because of that.
Having said all that I know a guy who bought Romney’s and really likes them.
