How can I check the price of sheep? I know the price of commercial sheep but pure bred breeds I have no idea about. Could anyone give me an idea of how much I would need to pay for a registered Ryeland ewe? Thank you.

Thank you Rosemary, that is exactly the info that I need. :D

Always glad to be of assistance :thumbsup:

good Lord, I shall look at my Ryelands in a whole new light from now on. Those are some great prices but I would imagine the breeding is exceptional. I could do with learning a little bit more about the best lines etc to improve my stock. If anyone facies giving me a lesson anytime please let me know :wave:

The difference between the top price and the average is quite telling - there were some exceptional prices at Ludlow.

Wow thats incredible prices.
