[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 7849904, member: 17508"] The very first Lleyn Crosses here were out of Blackies. Lambed along side the Mule lambs that first year, it was huge step forward. Better at lambing time - hardiness at birth, a will to live. Smaller, squarer lambs come speaning which sold as well in the live ring as anything else (fat) and fleshened easier than the mules to get to finishing. The skin's were a bit varied and the head was similar to a Texel out of a Blackie. The cross made exceptional mothers. If I had no choice but to run Blackies on hill and a cross bred flock on better ground - the cross would be Lleyn. No quite. We put the Blackies down the road quite quickly and bred from the Scotch Mules. Every resulting cross away from the BFL we could see noticeable improvement in the sheep. [/QUOTE]
