Long story short, I have ended up with a lovely but unregistered (and unregisterable) North Ronaldsay type ram lamb, in with a bunch of registered ewes.
What could I put him with, if anything, to make a reasonable cross that would produce a few lambs finished by next Autumn, so that he earns his keep? I've seen Ronnie x texel lambs as babies and they seem nice but I've not seen the finished article.
Ideally I'd want to be lambing late March/ early April, outdoors if possible but indoors space available, to produce something to finish on grass without needing to be overwintered. Am I asking the impossible- if so it's not a problem but seeing as he's here I thought it might be worth considering.
