Now...Thanks Garrett for helping to show the mules! Now I've got to decide which of the mule girls (other than B5's twin) to keep for myself!<br /><br />Jeff has decided that we probably won't use the NCC and just put the ewes that will be used for crossing (~40, same as last year) to the BFL this fall. One less mouth to feed this winter. Which BFL ram (genetics) are you going to use on the Shetlands?<br /><br />I'd love to know what your Texel looks like when you get him. We are still debating about getting one - or leasing one. I'll probably call the local guy up and see what is available.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616932421270453008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-17406944742039063042009-09-15T17:06:37.966-05:002009-09-15T17:06:37.966-05:00Oh my goodness, what did the judge say about Shetl...Oh my goodness, what did the judge say about Shetland mules? Last year's British judge dismissed them as not a good thing at all.

I look forward to the data on lambing and growth weights.<br /><br />P.S. Shetland mule fleeces seem to be the best of both worlds. Soft, lustrous, and dense.Carol B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18148501664346856904noreply@blogger.com
