Sorry, FLF, but I think that's at best foolhardy.  Hand-reared tups are the worst, they have no respect for humans.  They'd be dangerous as pets.

i agree Sally, they are dangerous as pets and i wouldn't trust them as stock tups either

Is it right that a mule is a cross breed, males intended for meat,females to mate with a texel or such.
With a cross breed tup you wouldn't know what the lambs would turn out like.
