What rams are the best to use for maternal traits? Is there any breed that has both good maternal and terminal traits?

What type of ewes have you already?

What are you hoping to improve on?

Is it milk, prolifically or something else?

Texel & Suffolk would be considered a dual breed but can be very variable
