[Jacob-list] Killgorlin Hercules for sale; terminal sire

[Grose]

My experience is that the Finn crosses do very well. They consistently feed
triplets and have wool that is similar to the non-Finn parent but with less
grease. Lamb size is very similar to the Jacobs and hit-the-ground hardiness
is similar. The early maturity means that they reach eating size quickly and
nocks at least a year off the delayed maturity of the Lincolns and
Cotswold's. Heat tolerance, copper tolerance, foot rot resistance and
parasite resistance is good.
