What to cross belclare/ lleyn ewe

[Kazak]

What would you cross a lleyn/ belclare ewe to produce a good replacement ewe??

A lleyn or a belclare would be best. Not much help but seems like anything else would just dilute the maternal attributes. Lleyns to the belclare tup belclare ewes to the lleyn tup hybrid vigour without losing any of the good bits.

Exlana if you want to take the wool off.
Romney if you want to stay maternal and improve your wool value!

You beat me to it ! (I almost feel redundant these days )
Exlana will of course take the wool off & improve the maternal traits

Very impressed with my exlana x lambs (photo taken at 4wks)....and I’m a Romney man!

I’m no fan of Lleyns, but surely the Belclare is a pretty decent maternal breed already? Keep it simple by using Belclares to breed your replacements, and a decent terminal (take your pick) on the rest?
