Had them years ago, Good points, good mothers, hardy, cross with a Suffolk and the ewe lambs should make good money, lambs wooly at birth and very lively good for outdoor lambing.
Bad points, poor shape very narrow at shoulder will get into creep feeder, a bit wild and great at jumping, get very little for them as cull ewes, not very prolific scan about 1.5 though this is plenty if on a hill.
