Assessor Comments
Offered by the Sutherland Family is a very nice line of 100 1st X Ewe Lambs that would be ideal to grow out and join. These ewes are only babies being a July/Aug Drop but present with good weight for age considering the drying season around them. They are impeccably bred by Edolston Border Leicester Rams out of large frame merino ewes. There has been a large tail taken out of this mob and these ewes are the lead draft of them. Buy with confidence.
