[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 6479726, member: 17508"] Speaking from experience, a Lleyn ewe bred from a (Scotch) Mule is not a shambles. There isn't much difference between her and the Mule, in the first instance. The LleynX will leave slightly smarter (Texel) lambs than a Mule, I never tried any other breed rams. What do you want? Your first instance you're talking of putting terminal to maternal, then using another terminal. The resulting fat lambs will be 3/4 terminal so could(?) be deemed to be of higher quality. Your 2nd instance you're looking at maternal onto maternal then using a terminal. The lambs will be a touch plainer, but easier lambing with it. You'll also have higher lambing % in this system.
