Thinking ahead here: what breed would people recommend as a terminal sire?
Needs to be reasonably hardy as my fields are somewhat exposed on the North Yorks Moors and preferably not too prone to flystrike. I haven't had a problem with it before now, but live in fear. I'd prefer a docile British breed really and one that won't give my girls too much problem when giving birth! I've got a nice crossbred tup at the moment. Well, more of a mongrel really, and he's produced some lovely lambs for us this year, but if I'm keeping his daughters, I need another.
My other thinking is to get something to produce a breeding ewe - a type of mule I guess - and was wondering about a Zwartbles or Llyen and BFL would wither a die come the first winter. Anyone got any knowledge of either breed?
