Sorry Anke forgot to say one is eight and two are five yrs old, one of the five yr olds is registered as a Moorit burrit but is def not that colour now, she just looks like the others.
They have been wormed (Dectomax) fluked and Crovected within the last couple of weeks.

Anne, I am sorry I forgot about this post, been away at Border Union ths weekend (well  came home to sleep), but had my goats there....

I have only got white Shetlands at the moment, and planning to crossbreed to a bigger tup, so probably couldn't take coloured ewes (as they are usually smaller than the white ones). Age would not be a problem, as I have had 11 year old girls breeding successfully, but only to a Shetland tup.

Can I think about it and add up some numbers..., and get back to you in a few days? If someone else comes along though, please don't hesitate and sell them, sorry a bit indecisive at the moment.

No problem Anke not in any desperate rush to get rid of them (well apart from the evil unregistered one that butts you at any opportunity)  ;D ;D
