[QUOTE="andybk, post: 3695068, member: 347"] A good zwartbles is brilliant , a crap one is worse than usless , We brought them in , in the beginning as we felt they would do a similar commercial job to the bfl but hardier , which they will albeit with black wool easy lambing good mothers with plenty of milk , The problem now is a society thats obsessed perfectly marked sheep with no white spots on the neck (its part of the breed in holland up to the size of the fist ) even though their perfectly marked sheep are poor commercial types (holstines)under commercial conditions or have structural faults , Huge barrel shaped sheep fed as pets in the paddock ,By breeding for colour only they have lost a lot of genetic diversity There is no forward momentum amongst mainly hobby owners , other than lessons on trimming or showing . Have to say im very disappointed with how they have fd up a potentially good breed [/QUOTE]
