Hi Tirdu - I MIGHT be able to help. Amongst my Lleyns and Ryelands I have 3 Cheviott Xbreds and which have been running with my Ryeland Ram since 14th October. I put them to a Suffolk a couple of years ago and which produced a good meaty cross, but the Ryeland cross made fantastically big meaty lambs which were really impressive and made weight very quickly. I keep saying I must stick to the Lleyns and Ryelands...but these 3 girls are still here ;D. They;re probably about 5 years old and always lamb without any problem.
PM if you think they might be of interest and/or you'd like to come and see them......before I change my mind :-\

If you've not got any yet, would you be interested in Dorsets? I am in the Corwen area of North Wales.
