Worth keeping one of his sons from a cow with similar traits?

Possibly from a pure cow but nearly all of mine have 50% holstein in them.

A couple of calves from our new stock bull @M-J-G I think we can see the Celtic coming through

I thought your bull was a good buy that day!

Definitely no Cheviot in them 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.

I think Lleyns could have a bit of anything in them. I brought some here to lamb them for friends this year and even though they are "pure" some definitely had Cheviot look about them, some were Texel looking too, but it seemed to do them no harm as ewes though and I couldn't really fault them.

I kept a few of here to try them, I selected ones that were more Lleyn looking, they are running with pure Lleyn lambs at foot so we will see how they go.
I like them so far!

Thought you had no grass.

@sheepwise
Those fields haven’t been grazed since January, and should of had a rotation of sheep first before the cows went into them. Don’t know where the cows will go next!

If there’s a dead coupy or a mockit ewe tomorrow they’ll definitely be ready

Last field of grass before have to put them onto a silage piece.
All previous need a month to recover after wet weather.
