Try Selby store sale.  I sold one there yesterday, I did not log in and see your ad until this morning!

Arrr I think that's called sods law !!
   My wife has found a zwartbles tup on the net , we do have one zwartbles ewe , would a zwartbles make a good lamb over our mule ewes?

It really is sods law. I just sent a shearling Hampshire ram in for meat. Just 10 days ago . We'd had some pretty good lambs off him. But I agree with Buttermilk - have a look at Selby on a Saturday. You'll have a choice then, and not just end up buying the cheapest. Next store sale is in a fortnight.

You'll be able to load without trailer gates as they have gates on the loading bays.
