I'm currently looking for some greyfaced dartmoor in lamb ewes of any age and also ewe lambs vice versa, im situated at aberystwyth west wales which is far from dartmoor country, many thanks
-
Hi Tirdu,
I am afraid the only Greyface breeds I know are near me in Tavistock, Devon. They are very well known - have you tried contacting the breed site http://www.greyface-dartmoor.org.uk/?
They should be able to help.
Good luck!

There's two ewes and a ram for sale on the RBST website in the Stock Exchange bit.

Hi there,
I know of a lady near Welshpool who breeds Grey faced. She's won a number of Championships too. Email me at Onnyview@googlemail.com for more details if you are still looking.
:wave:

tirdu can you explain your name please? I am used to names like gwendu and penndu white and black sheep but wondered what tirdu was.
thanks

onnyview thats very kind< well tirdu is the welsh name for black land, tir being land and du being black ha

thanks the terms are in breton and relate to white and black versions of the mainly black ouessant interesting that breton and welsh are so close.

Just wondered what you do with all the different breeds of sheep that you are always after?

We bought our Dartmoor ewes a month ago from the lady in Norfolk who advertised on the website

Very good sheep in lovely condition but a considerable distance from you.
