847 A13 We select ewes which conform to breed type, which lamb easily, mother well and really perform - we use the LLEYN GOLD scheme for this. 847 A13 was one of our Superstars. |
The Illustrious career of a LLEYN GOLD ewe
|

Dam of 847 07 0170 Paladin (Son of 172 Z92; sold Exeter 2008 for 1700 gns) and many of our stock ewes.

More Performance and Style 847 1600522 If we scroll forward a few years, we come to 847 16 00522, a grand daughter of A13. In 2017 and 2018 she was Breed Champion at 4 different Shows. She performs extremely well too, with an 8 week weight ratio (weight of lambs divided by weight of ewe) of 0.67 (well into LLEYN GOLD territory). In fact, in 2018, this 73 kg ewe produced 83 kg of lamb by 6th June.
