[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 6908436, member: 198"] I do admire those people who have made a go of it and built a successful flock with commercial Lleyns. I bought a selection from various flocks with a view to doing the same, thinking they would be a self replacing alternative to the Texel or Beltex cross mule. They have been a disappointment on that score being prone to mastitis, not wearing well, not as maternal as the mule and generally unpleasant to work with. I'll be glad when the last are culled this year. For those who have made a success of them, how many years did it take to get to where you are with them and are is it really better than keeping a nucleus flock of mules crossed with a Beltex/Texel to breed your replacements which in turn produce a more valuable finished lamb?
