Hi

You could try the Soay Sheep Society, if you are not already sorted.

They are very helpful and may well know of soay for sale in your area.

This is probably not the best time to be looking for stock - last years lambs will have been sold and the ewes will be just about ready to lamb in April.  The more usual time is August, when the new season's lambs are weaned, but it is a good idea to stake your claim early  :thumbsup: :sheep:

Julie Suffolk of the Soay and Boreray Sheep Soc is near Macclesfield, and she could perhaps put you in touch with someone with surplus stock, or you could book to buy some of hers [email protected] (http://[email protected])
