Joking aside, what is the attraction of texel? My friends have them. I believe they can have issues with their throats...I hear them coughing all the time.

Yeah some can, that's where breeding comes in, some folk like the breeze block no neck type = breathing issues.

They're #1 tup breed in UK but by no means perfect. They're popular for how they're lambs look on the hook, good muscling, very lean, good conformation. And they're good at passing those characteristics onto a cross bred ewe. 

Trust me Bernard, you don't want to actually engage me on a sheep conversation, I'm a bore!!!

Appreciate that Ben. I do know my friend wins a lot at the market for his lambs
