Out of our 6 orphans, the 3 males and 1 female will go into the freezer come autumn. I am however undecided what to do with our 2 other ewe lambs, they are turning into very nice little lambs, growing well and very stocky. We are tempted to keep them and breed from them, either hire a ram or buy one with a couple of other ewes and have a small flock.
I've attached a couple of photos of the 2 we are thinking of keeping, I can't remember what cross breed the farmer said they were, possibly Texel X? Can anyone shed any light, and has anyone else kept on orphans for breeding?
