Have you tried speaking to your local auctioneers. They will know all the pedigree breeders in the area and one of them may let you have the use of a tup lamb for the duration of tupping. It'll be one of the ones that they are keeping to be a shearling at the sales next year so often like to get them proven on a small number of sheep to help boost the value of the tup next year.
