[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 6908291, member: 42308"] Aye up [USER=148327]@fifteenfarming[/USER] Here's my sixpeneth (for what it's worth) If you fancy some Lleyns, then go for it. They're a smallish breed and you'll be able to keep relatively more of them, than other breeds, on your smaller acreage. Be guided by the commercial breeders who've commented above - they've been doing it for ages and have tried all sorts. Use their knowledge to get you 'ahead of the game' so you don't have to make those mistakes yourself. Pedigree breeding (in all breeds) is a minefield of all sorts of problems - get some good commercial blood that will look after themselves. I don't wish to discourage you in any way, the sheep industry needs all the keen, young blood it can get, but keeping any sort of sheep isn't the way to become the next Dyson/Bamford/Branson. Let us know what you decide, enjoy your farming and keep lurking on TFF. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
