Pedigree Lleyn sheep bred on a Cumbrian upland farm by Peter & David Knowles. Flocks 886 & 1087
Cragg Lleyn Stock Rams

Lleyn Shearling rams
When we are looking for a new ram we look for a well made ram with suitable conformation, average or slightly above average in size, good short, dense fleece. Black nose and no brown anywhere.Good mouth and stands well on all feet. Usually when we have found a ram that fulfils this criteria so has everyone else!!. We also try a number of our own ram lambs each year & we have also retained some over the best shearlings to use in the flock

Our first ram "Henry" was purchased from John & Carol Burrows, flock 228, he did us extremely well and has left us with some good progeny. We have also purchased rams from John Geldard, flock 621, John Johnson, flock 889 and our last edition in 2007 from Simon Kavanagh , flock 1084.
