[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 651352, member: 1279"] That old black girl was a little too masculine then? Good pick though. I like the white girl. I can definitely empathise on the big sheep thing. I had a lot to do with the Poll Dorset breed when I was younger and the rams just keep getting bigger. I remember about 5 years ago the biggest PD ram weighed in at 130kg. I think people forget breed/sex attributes. Bigger animals aren't always better. But I guess the pressure is always there from the industry, minimum weights etc. My Dad used to shear and got to the point where he couldn't shear a lot of the SAMM rams that were being bred around home. They were getting up around the 140+ kg mark which is ridiculous. I like an animal that can carry themselves ;-) My taste in animals must be pretty simple :lol2: [/QUOTE]
