I have my small flock of lovely coloured ryeland ewes with lambs, which the female lambs I manage to sell as registered females, males are slow growing for meat but thats fine.

What breed would you suggest could I get to run alongside the registered ryelands for fast growing meat?  Something easy and fairly friendly?

Depending on where you are, because they're thin skinned, Charollais.  Always grow like stink, weigh more than they look, great conformation, friendly sheep. 

If you want a British breed, what about the Border Leicester?

Don't under estimate or overlook the british native breeds. We put a poll dorset over our lleyn x ewes and have been really happy with the lambs, hardy, easy lambing and growing like stink.

Our Southdown ram on our Badger Face ewes produces a very robust cross that grows away really well.
