[QUOTE="neilo, post: 1456466, member: 348"] What are you hoping to achieve from their progeny? Are you wanting an easy lambing, that you don't have to touch at all, don't drag the teg down, but aren't worth a lot at the end? In that case something like a Welsh Mountain or a Soay perhaps (remember that you've got to look at them every day too;)). Are you wanting to have an easy lambing and potential maternal cross females? Then perhaps a Lleyn? Are you after an easy lambing and a decent, albeit light weight, carcass to sell the following Spring? If so maybe a Beltex or Charmoise Hill? Or perhaps an easy lambing and a lamb that grows to a decent carcass & weight by the Autumn, but might drag the teg down a little more (ultimately you don't get it out without putting it in somewhere)? In which case a wedge shaped Charollais would hit the spot.(y) Alternatively, forget the easy lambing and use a Texel or pretty well any native lowland breed.:whistle: [/QUOTE]
