Have some Zwartble x Texel ewes that I can't really fault, good mothers, plenty milk and with Texel put over them the 3/4 lambs which are black or white are cracking lambs. But we put Zwartble tup over some last year and kept some of the gimmers and they've been a pain in the arse. Drop a tiny little lamb in middle of shed that just lies there, ignore it and bugger off to stuff face with hay. Most had no milk at all, only one that lost its lamb fostered another and is doing well. Am wondering whether to give them another chance because they're gimmers.
