Sheep for kids

[Benn]

Soooo Possibly looking at getting few sheep again but this time small pure flock (15-20ish )for son and nephews next autumish if things pan out how there meant to ,with moving back down farm,not looking at this as earning money as come to terms never earn enoughout sheep on land we have.

Struggling to figure out the breed .
Looking for breed that can deal with lambing outside, most importantly good temperament.

Had lleyns were perfect but too prolific and had hampshire but not keen on The wool.

All views welcomed,Cheers all!

Easy Care. No shearing, decent sized lambs and must be lambed outdoors. They hate being inside

How find them lambing when pure,they prolific like lleyns?
Also do you find easy sell on pure ewe lambs or better selling dead?

Best to keep something which will sell locally as store lambs. I've seen too may hobby farmers with looks of dismay when they realise that no one wants to buy their primitive or unproductive breeds.
