    What age or weight would a Suffolk ran want to be to be suitable for breeding?

    They'll breed from about 6 months old, DJ, but their size and stamina will count against them. I'd like them over 60kgs anyway so they would be able to cover a good few ewes at that size.

    I wouldn't like going over 30 ewes with a ram lamb if you wanted some bit of compact lambing and less again the smaller and younger they are.
