Title: Any spare lambs?
Post by: funkyfish on April 18, 2012, 10:14:53 am
Have been on the lamb bank website. Am after a ewe lamb- any sort really (but ideally not horned, and livening breeds), also any age! Will pay of course!

Am in Honiton, Devon and will travel for a lambie! Most lambs gone by the time I phone. Have a few days off from friday so can pick up when ever. Have two three week-old weather lambs for friends when lambie big enough.

I anyone hears of any I'd love one!

they will want 12 a lamb they will be spare triplets how many would you take (they prefer to let a few go togther) and when could you collect.  they started lambing at weekend so you would need to be quick they are  doing 80 ewes a day!

Yay! Thanks so much!! I could take 3 or 4 if that's ok? That's a fair price. I can collect Friday afternoon as unexpectedly oncall tomorrow night but finish work 2pm friday. If that's too late I may be able to get hem tonight ini can find someone to do night feeds for me tomorrow.

Hi! Thanks for reply, am picking up 3 lambs tomorrow. Would have taken any age , just on a budget and babies cheaper. Thanks anyway!

Everyone on here always so helpful, thanks!
