Ewe Lamb Registration
- Why Register Your Ewe Lambs?
The Lleyn Sheep Society requires members to register ewe lambs in the year
of their birth.
- Ewe lambs you intend to retain in your flock must be registered. Otherwise,
you will not be able to register their future progeny.
- Ewe lambs to be sold at Society Sales must also be fully registered before the Sale (and must be correctly identified with their Society and Defra (or equivalent) compliant tags).
- Ewe lambs to be sold as shearlings, sold from home, online etc. It can be very advantageous for sheep leaving your flock to be fully registered. Registration of your ewe lambs is a small price to pay for their long term future breeding registered Lleyn. Your buyers will have the confidence that they are buying genuine pure-bred registered Lleyn sheep, who should perform as Gold Standard Lleyn and whose progeny can be registered by their new owners.

i.e. the secondary tag must show

Individual (ETAS) No. (reg. 00123)
Year of Birth (e.g. 26 for 2026)
Flock Number (e.g. 0111)
