Breeding Considerations

Higher Ed is impeccable in his breed character. He is big footed, wide in his chest floor and giant in his rib cage. He consistently adds muscle and stoutness to his progeny in a clean pedigree package. Use him to add center body, upper hip and stifle to your flock without sacrificing breed character, skin and touch. Higher Ed is a power buck and should be targeted on ewes that need to be wider at the ground and more opened up in their overall skeleton.
