[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 6906955, member: 17508"] If pedigree is something that interests you, then give it a crack... but it should be mentioned [USER=178]@Jerry[/USER] [USER=31970]@scottish-lleyn[/USER] and myself are not pedigree breeders and we concentre purely on commercial traits. Traits which are maybe not always desirable within the "pedigree society show and sale" worlds. Our views may be slightly skewed in that regard as its more about function than form... I'm running 500 pure(ish) Lleyns - half bred to the Lleyn the other half to Texel. Only thing I will say is keep away from the tall, slight/light bodied and long legged types. They are poor sheep. As has been said, this is maybe going to be a difficult year to get started, but I hope for all that the breeding sales do go ahead as close to normal as possible. Don't know your location, but check the Lleyn Society website (which I'm sure you will have already) and suss out your nearest sale. Even if you don't buy, go for a look and talk to some sellers - learn what you're looking at. Get a taste for the type you like and watch the trade. They are more than just reasonably hardy. [ATTACH type="full"]874692[/ATTACH] And with the right breeding, they cope on hill which upto I switched was Cheviot and Blackie ground... [/QUOTE]
