 The lowland ram, such as the Blueface Leicester is prolific, producing ewes which give 1-3 lambs and capable of producing enough milk to rear them.The cross between the two, in this case the Scottish mule, has good mothering instincts, good sized lambs and prolific milk production.This mule is usually crossed with a meat-type ram, such as the Suffolk or Texel, to produce these market lambs.
