EXCITED :D
« on: December 21, 2013, 01:20:45 pm »
Today we went to see some Pedigree In lamb Charollais from a very good breeder. Left at Half 5 this morning and drove 150+ miles and the outcome was well worth it!  :excited:

We have picked out 10 ewes, a mixture of ages but mostly 2 shear, All pedigree reg, There are a good few that have the MyoMAX gene and I was chuffed I picked out 2 ewes that are MyoMAX GOLD which is even better! They are due in March to a very good ram (High EBV's and amazing conformation) that cost them £5000. Being scanned between xmas and new year and picking them up shortly after.  :fc: All of the girls we have picked will be in lamb (if not they will swap them for another equally matched ewe)

Roll on March! :thumbsup:

We are toting with the idea of showing the lambs but there aren't many shows near us that do charollais classes. Depends how busy this summer is!!
