How do you see the covering of the Ram if they are trimmed for an auction, I have many time gotten the covering wrong due to trimmed rams at auction

I'm a farmer in Ghana and want a dorper to buy for cross breeding. Please, can I be helped?

Some videos say you can use the same RAM for 3,4 or 5 years on their Daughters and granddaughters. What is your opinion on this usage of the same RAM?

thats inbreeding

[@johnstoyles5005]

@@zeemahsciences4118 There has been a lot written about it and it has been used by many....but not me. I had a small flock of sheep and used a different Ram each year. When I raised cattle I used Artificial Insemination from top bulls in Canada and US.

Fathers to daughters is not allowed (inbreeding) although you can use cousins ( line breeding) that way you enhance traits you like but be careful because you enhance the bad traits also
