[QUOTE="neilo, post: 5088056, member: 348"] I aappreciate that there is more variation within a breed than between them, but the very small handful I bought are without doubt the worst group of sheep i’ve Ever had the misfortune to work with. I consider that I struck lucky though, as the same year I was looking to buy in a pedigree flock of 250, which thankfully (as it happens) fell through. On the other hand, I have been very impressed with the progeny of the ram I bought from the same place. The whethers did well and the daughters have been great lambing as hoggs. I have left a few sons entire, out of good Highlander ewes, with a view to keeping the best Lleyn x Highlander ram to use. That will be enough Lleyn blood for me, just for an injection of hybrid vigour. [/QUOTE]
