Title: Wanted Lleyn ewe lambs North wales
Post by: FiB on April 08, 2014, 07:24:24 pm

Happy to go to market if any recommendations... But when I do (Ruthin, Dolgellau) there are rarely Lleyn.  Where are they sold? Only after about 5 to bolster flock (not keeping any of this years welsh mountain croses).

There's a breeder local to me in Trefeglwys, near Llanidloes.

She goes to the breed society show and sale at Welshpool at the end of September and others.

Bit to far to me from where you are (Hay-on-Wye.)
My farmer friend has about 80 on an automatic feeding system.
He has a lambing flock of well over 1000 Lleyns.
