Well who would have thought it….

The crazy world of Genetics has provided a shock here at Knightfarm. 

Yesterday morning one of out Registered Pedigree Lleyn Ewes gave birth to two lovely white lambs… We then waited for the third as we knew she was expecting three. 

Shocker…, she had a black lamb. Stunning ram lamb, he is truly gorgeous, deep dark colour and is fitting fit. Everything you would want in a pedigree ram lamb for potential to breed…. 



The sire was a registered pedigree Llyen, a breed known for their white fleeces and faces. Our deer fencing ensures no rogues could have entered so we are positive of the sire!  No ‘postman’ scenario here !!! 

Sadly he doesn’t fit with what we need so will be sold.
