Hi, are these pure lleyn ram lambs then? Just slight confusion, lleyns ewes crosses with a NZ Lleyn?

[@innovativesheepbreeding4731]

These are not pure lleyns as there are no lleyns in New Zealand. They have bred a similar sheep in the Tefrom which is a stabilised composite of N Z Romney( hardiness, and thriftiness), N Z Texel( meatiness and carcase) and the East Friesian (milkiness and prolificacy). They are not far behind their mother at 4 months old! The beauty of using a visually similar but genetically very different sheep in the cross is little visual variation but a leap in performance as some of the hybrid vigour can be captured long term.
