How old are the lambs now?
And age of the ewes please?

The lambs are 2 weeks old
Ewes will be 5 this year, but both got in lamb on the first go and should have a few good years in them.

Not in a position to buy, but curious- have you done this cross before and if so, how did the fleeces turn out?

I havent done the cross before YorkshireLass. I had a wensleydale ram before but he was enormous and not the friendlist chap in the world, so i wanted something smaller and easier. If i still have them later in the year, ill put up a picture  ;D
