[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 780232, member: 5559"] appreciate the thoughts. the ewe is only half and does look more like a Katahdin then a dorper..dont care though, she is for working, not for breeding... and the lamb is 3/4 dorper.. Her mother is a stellar purebred from one of the bigger dorper operations in the area. I guess Im not seeing a lack of quality in the lamb? :???: I dont expect her to win some livestock show, but she is a good looking animal and should produce the kind of lambs that will be ideal for selling to people...plus be good for working my dog and some of the other stockdogs on. Comparing a percentage to a fullblood might not be entirely accurate on gauging quality..Im sure you have alot of fullbloods where you live...you can definantly tell a fullblood from a percentage...at least IMO. the ram I am looking at is a fullblood. Abit pricier then a percentage, but will add alot more dorper traits to the lambs and "improve" upon the ewes. I am not marketing breeding animals, looking more to sell for eating, but with a fullblood, their exists the possability of retaining some of his ewes to breed(while selling him in afew years) Lots of things to consider. Lamb is holding its value pretty well...just hoping to suppliment their cost of care. [/QUOTE]
