    Really enjoyed the video Sam! Your tup at £750 isn't a dear tup, he's not quite in the condition as the £1200 tup but your tup will turn out the best one in the long run. Plenty length and leg about him. All the best Sam

    @Andy-ix2ox 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Oliver’s ram is a good sheep but he is a sheep to breed rams your sheep is a growther sheep and very kind headed slightly lighter of the bone he should breed very nice ewe lambs basically if they were mine I would put Oliver’s ram with the lighter boned ewes ( you know the ones that have a bit of a dip behind the shoulder) and he should straighten them up and put a bit of power into them and I would put your ram with the stuffier, thicker ewes and hopefully he will put a bit of kindness into them, if you are lucky and they are matched to the right ewes you should have a lot of very nice ewe lambs next year and then you will have a good base flock to breed from. I have followed sheep for many years and I have seen some very fancy ones that make huge money and never breed anything and some middling sheep that have breed great stock , the best advice I can give you is try to breed a good ewe and when you have a very nice ewe then you can think about trying to breed rams, regards from Ireland.

    they all looked much the same to me but a big variation in price........your sheep have got to ruff it up on those hills of yours.......it makes a difference i think to those that are on lower ground. is it like it is with bulls that you want a ram that will produce easy lambing lambs......long and lean lambs or do you prefer more stocky sorts

    • @Sam-shuttfarming
      @Sam-shuttfarming  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Stocky but can't beat length. We've got the length in our ewes really so broad stockyness would be good. I do think he's the better tup like and yes dont want them to melt when they get home haha

    The Attonburn ram is better for breeding rams , better head & shape , the New bank ram is better to produce females or bigger store lambs but he has too long a head and black spots on his ears and maybe a more open coat . Both rams will correct faults on different type ewes and you just never know if they will click with your ewes

  • @wendyrowland7787
    @wendyrowland7787 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I am guessing that judging by the head width between the ears, some texel has been bred into some of them. A DNA analysis would be interesting. Not sure that they need to be goaded and struck in the ring, it only makes them difficult to handle in future.

  • @ianunwin
    @ianunwin 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    both have great stance slightly bigger bag on Olivers, do the expensive ones end up producing for insemination companies, surely there is a limit as to how many sheep a tup can cover? will both tups be used on the whole flock. Also how long do you keep a tup before the gene pool is needing a change ? sorry lots of questions but an office worker with lots of interest great videos as always these last few weeks.

    • @Sam-shuttfarming
      @Sam-shuttfarming  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ianunwin we buy plenty of tups to cover our sheep. So, depending on who's getting, what roughly 40 / 50 sheep to a tup even less if we have plenty. So I'd your breeding for lambs to sell every year like our beltex lambs we sell he can stay as long as possible but anything that we are breeding to keep So like our cheviots he has 2 years to tup then will have to go onto something else or he will be tupping his daughters. So have to change about or sell and buy another if that makes sense. All will be explained once we louse the tups 😃😃😃
