I'll get pics in a second, but loved my Suffolk Hamp cross boys last year. Even if one had very little Hamp in him.

In the 130 or 140 range here, one advantage to this lamb was his shorter legs allowing for him to compete against lambs who weighed the same but looked a little smaller on top.

Think we were hitting about 150lbs here, but with the extra Suffolk (I think) he was starting to fill out and look great as a heavy weight lamb.

I hope this is ok to ask here, has anyone ever watched Sandi Brock on YouTube? She's a sheep farmer in Canada, and I have learned a lot about breeds from watching her channel.

Yep, I watch her too. Not really sure how you would learn about breeds since hers are all mixed, but all of the other info is good.
