    texel cross works fine, great to rare , v milky, no real complaints, but tried the lleyn out so first crop of lambs this year, single lambs sound, the twins need a bit of looking after, the reason i tried him was to see if there a bit hardier for the hill and also to see will they have a lot of twins, iv a few ewe lambs gone off to hill, with the idea that every july i can let them off to dry up for a month or two when the lambs are taken off them, a work in progress ,
