[QUOTE="CharcoalWally, post: 1460728, member: 3171"] I'd be careful about doing this up here [USER=7156]@Happy[/USER] . It was my switch to outdoor lambing that made me change from using the pure Charollais tup. Charollais lambs aren't soft as such - they have as much vigour and get up and go at birth as any other breed does , more than most in fact , but they aren't as well covered at birth to suit the Scottish climate. I never used a really bare skinned tup , but if you look at a new born Char. lamb and a new born Texel lamb , you'll probably see the difference. So if you go for it , it would be best to have some shed room to bring in any that might be feeling the cold. They certainly should lamb as easy as any other breed and give you a really good lamb that sells well. [/QUOTE]
