I have 8 or so of that type of ewe they are 2 yr olds that lambed for the first time this year, fine big fleshy ewes that lamed easy good mothers and lots of milk and have good big char lambs at foot , the only thing is they are all 80 - 85 kgs and the lambs are not that much bigger than lambs from lleyn x hoggets that weigh around 60 kgs , the research tell us that a small or medium size ewe that is prolific is they way to make money from sheep which i would tend to agree with, will be letting a 5 star lleyn ram out with these in the hope of slightly smaller but good quality replacement lambs.
