sorry first post here so if I don't quite post in the normal style that is why!
any way I am looking at starting a small 'flock' or 'herd' not a real one mind as it will consist of about 3 or 4 sheep to start with! plan is to buy in 3 or 4 lambs just after being weened off and then raise them up for slaughter and sell the meat, do this for a year or two and then go proper and start breeding and lambing
to sell the lambs at market for meat
I am looking at various breeds and have seen positives and negatives of them all! I am looking mainly at Lleyn or easy care
the Lleyn as I have been working with them lambing recently and they get a good percentage fertility wise and are very friendly
the easy care as they are hardy and less susceptible to disease
considered romney but not too keen as i believe they aren't AS good meat as various others?
not really sure why i haven't got my heart set of Lleyn apart from the hardiness of easy care
and i hear easy care have a rather variable temperament?
any thing else i should be aware of with either of these breeds? good or bad?
any other breeds i should look at/consider?
Cheers Ed
