Breed of sheep
Lleyn sheep are a breed of sheep from the Llŷn peninsula ('Lleyn'), in Gwynedd, north-west Wales.
They are bred for prolificacy, good mothering, quiet in nature, high milk and excellent for white wool. They are suited to both upland and lowland grazing.[1]
This breed is raised primarily for meat.[2]
