Fronteira sheep

I was wondering if anyone has seen these sheep ? i only know what i have read on the logie website but i have to say i like the way the breed is made up , i would imagine if they are anywhere near the BFL in terms of prolificacy they would be a great cross on mountain ewes to produce a mule/crossbred , all of the advantages of the mule/hiltex but maybe less of the disadvantages ie value of wethers (mule ) longer more prolific ewe (hiltex)

Sheep breeder

Recently was in logie durno they are super super sheep men and serious workers.
If I was young man again and starting out in sheep would go for logie breeding and their way of sheep farming.ewes are super impressive and are doing the job,
The attention to recording and culling is the key. We seen one static flock of 400 ewes with 805 lambs weaned one week earlier and 450 ready for the factory in one lot.we seen a batch of 450 hogget ewes with only one with a dirty end and she was being culled and they were like peas in a pod.
