Felix 200213

200213 is an impressive son of Bundara Downs 181548 (who is by Felix 161073) with the style , correctness and muscle of 161073 with improved eating quality.  213’s dam is the twin sister of Felix 170168 and his sire of dam is Hillcroft Farms 130156

Felix 200356

Looking for an outcross sire and not wanting to give away gains in growth rate, muscle and eating quality, and keep birthweight optimal?

200356 is by Jewsharp 150014 (by Derrynock 130068) and out of a ewe by Felix 160494. We used him in January as a ram lamb and the video here is the day he came out of ewes in February.
