Hi All
I have a diverse assortment of ewes (2x Portland; 3x Welsh Black; 4x Dorset Down; 1x Castlemilk Moorit X), and have in the past mainly put them to a Dorset Down ram [which I hired in], occasionally a Charolais ram.
This year I have 4x ewe lambs, the rest being experienced older ewes. They are kept on lowland, and the older ewes always have twins.
The lambs usually go into my (or a relative's) freezer. The wool I sell at a Fleece Fair @ £4 each (2014).
My usual Dorset Down Rent-a-Ram is now unavailable, so am on the lookout for a new one, but considering changing breed. Any advice?
