THe catalogue is now on the website - if ou can't find it, as I couldn't and had to phone them - it's in news under poultry sale. It's truly woeful, when you compare it to say H&H or ANM

I'm sure it's nothing personal - the document is riddled with typos.

It just doesn't appear to be very professional!!

Maybe their commercial sales are better!!

I'm selling my Jacob tups. My registered stock tup, his 2year old son and tup lamb.
I was hoping to buy some females but the only females are from my friend and one other with 3 gimmers.

There's a osb gilt for sale in aberfoyle, so I'll go see that too.

I'll just go to a dog show then
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I'm in shock!!

Have you seen the catalogue yet??

Someone is selling a 5 year old jack russell bitch and a 7 week old puppy...........throught the auction ring!

That poor bitch will have no idea what is going on, and why her master is getting rid of her and sending her to god knows what, and where.
Even my hardened farmer husband thinks its a bit off doing that.

Should that be allowed??
Legally, possibly, but morally, I don't think so!!

If I could, I'd buy her, its sooooooo wrong (my personal opinion)!!

The catalogue that was posted out to me had the dogs in it. Maybe it's not on the web one.

I just find it horrible!!

It's not in my downloaded catalogue either. Sheepdogs are sold by auction at specialist sales - I'm not sure if  JR is rare and traditional breed though!

They are in the catalogue after the cows and goats under rare breed. I know they sell sheepdogs at certain sales but I just find this situation off!!

I must be a woose about my dogs!
