No reason you couldn't retain a SufTex x lamb and get the best of both worlds....

Why look for anything else other than a LLeyn ram. Mine finish about now from an April lambing at around 40 -42 KG on grass at 1000ft.

I scanned 194% on mine and had 38 from 20 using Lleyn to Lleyn.

I have a few poll dorsets and one Lleyn, I put a poll Dorset ram to them all! Growth wise the Lleyns are not too far behind the Dorset lambs. I got a ewe lamb from the Lleyn and will be interested to see if it will inherit the out of season lambing!
