I have 3 Berrichon tups, we use them on out draft age hill north country cheviot ewes, and then keep the females to tup with a commercial sire for fat lambs. I think they are great, the lambs are so quick to their feet and to suck. The down side is the berrichon x cheviot males aren't as marketable as say a texel x cheviot, but worth it for what we do, as the females then produce more lambs in the next generation than a texel x cheviot female. Quiet and easy to handle for their size, too.
