That's a great question from Rich. I'd also like to know Micheal. Are you selective breeding for larger carcass? I have been trying to selectively breed for larger carcass and I finally feel like this year I have a couple of lambs that are more of what I have been aiming for. Michael do your ewes have big bodies as well?

Now that you show it again, I remember the original, but I didn't remember how LARGE all three rams were. What in the world do you do to get such big sheep? My American Blackbellies are much thinner, so that I cross them with Dorpers to get larger lambs!
