Lleyn sheep originate from the Lleyn peninsula in Wales and until recently were a relatively unfamiliar breed of sheep in the UK.
Over the past 10 years the Lleyn breed has caught the eye of many farmers, and now Lleyn sheep can be found almost all over Britain & Ireland. Farmers soon find that the Lleyn is an ideal ewe, quiet in nature, prolific, has great maternal instincts, milky, & will not eat you out of house and home. The Lleyn fits in to many situations and its versatility suits both lowland and upland grazing.

Lleyn in Mid Wales – Bennett family
The sheep have always been important at Tyn-y-Coed and, over the years, different breeds of sheep were tried. In the mid 1990s, Alun became interested in Lleyn as they were building a reputation for easy management and could be run as a closed flock, with home-bred replacements, which allowed flock improvement and a high health status.
