Q: Are Texels good mothers and do the lambs "get up and go"? A: Texels are milky and very good mothers, and the lambs are quick to get to their feet and look for the teat. Q: Are Texels hardy, and if so, in what kind of conditions will they survive? A: Texels originally came from the Island of Texel on the North Sea coast of Holland, where they are used to the winds and weathers of that coast-line. They are well able to adapt to exposed weather conditions. Q: Are Texels slower growing than some other breeds? A: There is a wide variation within the Texel breed, so look out for rams that have an above average EBV for growth, especially when you want to use them on an early lambing flock. Q: Are Texels sometimes too lean for producing finished lambs in the commercial market? A: If you need to finish lambs at a lower weight, it is important to choose a ram with a slight plus on fat depth, but a lot will depend on what breed of sheep the ram will be running with. We can help you to choose a tup that will do the job needed in your particular flock. Q: Can we come and view your sheep? A: We always welcome visitors, though we would ask people to contact us in advance and arrange a time. People are free to come and see, without feeling under any pressure to buy.
