Title: Orphan Ryeland lamb needs foster mum
Post by: jheard on March 02, 2019, 02:36:46 pm

Hi all. A friend has an orphaned Ryeland lamb she desperately needs to home. She has a small flock but unfortunately none of the other ewes are accepting him. His mum died in the early hours of Friday morning, a couple of days after he was born. They're based near Selby in North Yorks. If you can help or want more info please let me know and I can put you in touch.

Many thanks

Thank you - I've passed the info on. Both good resources and I think she's found somewhere for him now.
