Title: shetland ewes for sale
Post by: thenovice on May 12, 2012, 07:04:10 am
I am reducing my small flock, so have 3 shetland ewes for sale. I havnt had them long, but the ladies are friendly, and come to a bucket. 2 are approx 2 years old, the other a bit older.  The other bonus is they are not jumpers  :thumbsup: im in kent

HAAHA!! Mine were out last night as well, my own fault as I had put them in the field with crappy fencing but more grass cos I felt sorry for them, the fencers are just finishing the fence for their new field.
Didnt feel sorry for them after me and my friend had eveentually rounded up all 20, split in 3 different groups. Especially not defiant Gretel, it's a good job for her she has lovely twin lambs for me......:-O

With good fences, they are a delight, but if they do get out, it is like herding cats :-))) ;D
