bump   the ewe lambs have all completed their Heptavac vaccs and are ready to go to new homes. Many are bred from show lines, good quality stock. These sheep tend to have naturally docile temperaments in comparison to other breeds so are easily tamed and ideal for smallholders. They are a large milky breed, dual purpose for meat and milk. The lamb produces an excellent lean well flavoured and textured meat.

What sort of money do this breed go for?  It is my favourite breed, I just love their colouring (probably stems from my passion for black horses too - oops )  I've admired them at the shows often.

Thank you Victorian Farmer, they are a lovely breed to own and fun to take showing, they actually seem to enjoy being out, and my niece is getting a lot of enjoyment (and success too!) with showing in young handler classes.

Hello White-blazes, zwartbles translates to black and blaze!! Re the prices they are variable and tend to depend on markings and size/conformation. Broken blaize lambs I generally sell from around £130ish registered, well marked lambs from around £200 and they can go for a lot more if a really outstanding show animal £1000+

Right, I never knew that, thank you.  Now I know why I like them, black with blazes and 4 whites, which is also my favourite colour in horses too (hence my log in name) 8)
Good luck selling them, they really are lovely looking sheep :)
