  Lleyn Sheep Society - History of the Lleyn
Anglesey farmers were familiar with Lleyns, as they were the main buyers at the three annual sales that used to be held at Sarn for many years, but sales had dwindled to just a trickle of sheep present by the 60's, bringing the sheep to Anglesey might rekindle interest in the old buyers.
As the Lleyn were gaining popularity on the grounds of its prolificness, milking and mothering qualities, to demonstrate these points it was decided to take three ewes rearing triplets on to the NSA stand.
Although the Lleyn was a descendant of the Galway, the Galway had lost a great deal of their prolificness,milking abilities, and were not very consistent breeders as ewe lambs.

The Lleyn is popular for crossbreeding to improve the lambing percentage of less prolific breeds, and is renowned for its exceptional mothering ability, while in the past after rearing her lambs the ewe was milked for cheese making.

Both the Lleyn and its crosses are able to adapt to almost all lowland management systems, and are widely used to produce a consistently high quality lamb carcass.
