I'd like to get a little more size out of my wethers. Do you have any idea if they work drastically differently?

I will confess that I really want some Corriedales...(hangs head and confesses)...just because they are pretty.

Don't have him yet but are considering a Dorper as a ram vs. the St. Croix
due to the beard on the St. Croix. Around here we'd end up with a BIG mess!
The total body weight to cut weight is better on the St. Croix and they are
"nicer" sheep to work with but, well, heck, the ram's gonna stay in a
limited area and not be something one works with much, so no big deal. The
Dorper still have a better dressed weight to useable weight then your
"average" lamb that goes to market.
