[NZDan]

Can any one tell me anything about a Texel ram called Vorn Yardstick. I've got the opportunity to buy some Daughters.

@Ysgythan would perhaps know something about him, as he follows those in the recording scheme closely.

Very impressive figures

All i know about vorn texels is they breed a bloody good lleyn

 

[Ysgythan]

They breed to a type and if you like that type you won’t find better. Not my cup of tea, but it takes all sorts.

I tend to use Hazel as a Yardstick myself but a bit of Blue Alci will suffice if needs must

How would you describe the type?

How would you describe the type?

Personally? Wooled donkeys. But as I said, not my cup of tea, and taste is subjective.

N.B. remember some breeds in this country have ridiculous politics (replace 'some' for 'all'). So if somebody can message you with an objective view, bite their hand off.

That’s a bit rich, I thought I went out of my way to give an objective view on what is after all a public forum.

No offence was meant. Though I saw your objective view as 'tongue in cheek' and not altogether descriptive.

There is no denying the politics.... but my comment wasn't aimed at you

Fair enough

I think sometimes the politics arises from two things, people taking themselves and the job far too seriously and having difficulty accepting or recognising certain realities. It’s a deadly mix.

Vorn texels are taller longer and finer than most texels you find in the uk today. From my experience they are hardy easy doing sheep that finish well. Decent shape aswell.

 

[Ysgythan]

Or you can check out Vorn Texels on Facebook and see for yourselves.

Aye my thoughts exactly. I'm wondering about the merit in bring over a style of sheep we already have.........
