Hello!
« on: May 06, 2017, 08:22:15 am »
Hello all!  :wave:

From a smallholding in formation in Shropshire. We have lots of poultry at the moment with all our broody ducks and hens!

We had 2 hebs and 3 castlemilks last year, but sold them after a awful experience with flystrike, but have the sheep bug now and after vowing we'd never have them again now have 3 cades and 2 more on the way, also thinking about Icelandic sheep in the autumn!  ;D

Looking forward to talking with you

I fully understand the sheep bug thing, especially with Hebs.

Not that far from us then. We are in Telford, just at the top of the Ironbridge Gorge. If you want to meet some mad goats (as well as mad person) you are welcome to visit.

Hi and welcome to the forum from ceredigion  :wave:
Probably shouldn't but if you are interested in easycare Lleyn sheep I may have some ewe lambs available later on in the year, good genetics! :)
