They have been really good mothers, but I’ve never had ewe lambs stealing lambs quite like these have done

Definitely no Cheviot in them :unsure: majority of my ewes are pure or pedigree Lleyn, just the odd older ewe that’s tex x Lleyn that’s then gone to a Lleyn. Those ewes were from a ped Lleyn flock that crossed some ewes to a texel for better lambs sold live. But like everyone says there’s so much variation in the Lleyn breed.
