The Lleyn sheep has grown in popularity over the last few years and have become a dominant player in the UK sheep industry. The Lleyn gained popularity firstly as a maternal dam. The crossing potential of the Lleyn hasn't been unlocked until recently. Flock masters throughout the UK are now seeing the commercial qualities of the Lleyn. The Lleyn when crossed with any terminal sire produces a quality prime lamb excellent in quality and consistent in grade. When lambs are sold deadweight they achieve E & U grades at a very high killing out percentage.
The Scottish & Borders Lleyn Breeders Club in conjunction with Harrison & Hetherington, Borderway Mart, Carlisle are holding a Prime Lleyn Lamb showcase & sale on the 24 th August, to highlight the crossing potential of the Lleyn dam. The Lleyn Sheep Society Sale of Lleyn sheep is held on Thursday 24 th September.
We welcome your support with entries of quality Lleyn and Lleyn Crossed lambs bred from a Lleyn ewe to highlight to farmers and primestock purchasers what a Lleyn ewes is capable of producing.
