“They were 100 per cent weighed and mouthed, where nine were lambs and one ewe erupting two teeth.

“Seven ewes were noted as full shedding haired types with three having back strips where in my opinion will turn to full shedders as they mature.

“These ewes have my full five ticks, growth for age, length, depth, softness and fertility.

“These ewes are Red Tag certified and are in lamb to a great sire with their breeding history to back it up.”
