THE LLEYN BREED THE SHEEP OF THE FUTURE What is so remarkable about this breed? Thirty years ago it was almost unknown outside the small Lleyn peninsula which stretches out to the sea towards Ireland in the North West corner of Wales, and is now found in every corner of the British Isles and more recently in Ireland There are very good reasons for the spread and growth of the Lleyn, despite the extreme difficulty experienced by non-welsh speaking people in pronouncing its name. The Lleyn ewe is an excellent mother in all respects. She lambs easily, attends to her newborn lambs without any fuss but with great enthusiasm, whether she is an older ewe or a ewe lamb lambing for the first time. She is an excellent milker and new born lambs are remarkably quick getting on their feet and to suckle, particularly important when lambing takes place outside in weather conditions that are not ideal. A mature Lleyn flock in regular ages will naturally rear a 200% crop of lambs with ease, while the ewe lamb section of the flock, which are very often mated, will result in a bonus crop of lambs. The Lleyn is a naturally healthy breed and this combined with the ability to maintain a closed flock, ensures the maintenance of a high health status flock. Compared with many other breeds, used to produce prime lamb the Lleyn is smaller in size and enables a higher stocking rate to be maintained and a consequent higher sale of lambs per acre, whether bred pure or crossed with a terminal breed sire, the Lleyn produces highly satisfactory carcase lambs, classified U s and R s, when based on good grassland systems of production, with minimum or nil concentrate use. The Lleyn ram is also in considerable demand to cross on to other breeds, particularly hill and upland breeds to increase lambing percentages of the resultant breeding ewes, and to improve carcase quality. The Lleyn is a wonderful ewe, it is little wonder that her fame has, and still is, spreading so rapidly, and that Lleyn breeders are so enthusiastic about her performance.
