Ok Ok.... I know I have been bleating on about the fact that I must do it, but seeing as I have been incredibly (deliberately) lapse, I thought putting an ad on here might at least give me the impetus to start to sell at least, some of my small flock. :gloomy:
ALSO POSTED IN SHEEP FORUM! Can deliver locally for petrol money.
I have for sale (although I would really much rather keep them as they are my babies so it would be great if no one actually wanted to buy them LOL) :-
· 2 x Shetland x Charollais wethers… born March 2012 - £55 each – some are rigged. Would make delicious sweet low cholesterol slow grown lamb meat. (I have already kept 2 back for you Colliewoman) Would be ready for eating Jan 2013
· 3 x Charollais x Shetland ewe lambs… Born late Feb and mid March 2012 - £65 each (would make excellent breeding ewes) – 2 of which are friendly orphans... very good size, solid, cute.
· 4 x Mule x Texel ewe lambs – very friendy orphan lambs – born late April 2012 £75 each
· 1 x unregistered Grey Shetland ewe lamb - £60 born March 2012 – her mum Apshill Bella won Shetland Reserve Champion and Primitive Reserve Champion plus Best Shetland Ewe at 2012 Midsomerset Show
· 1 x Wether/rig Grey Shetland lamb –unregistered, make excellent teaser or companion to tup or for delicious, sweet, low cholesterol slow grown lamb - £45 – born March 2012 – his mum Apshill Bella won Shetland Reserve Champion and Primitive Reserve Champion plus Best Shetland Ewe at 2012 Midsomerset Show. Ready to eat April-ish
· 1 x February 2012 born Ryeland x Poll Dorset… beautiful, friendly girl – make great breeding ewe £80... a little bit 'thick' but pretty, happy go lucky, solid
ON MY WEBPAGE (SEE BELOW) I HAVE DONE DISCOUNTS FOR GROUPS BEING BOUGHT TOGETHER AS I WOULD LOVE FOR SOME OF THEM TO BE HOMED IN A SMALL GROUP TO GIVE THEM SOME SECURITY IN NUMBERS.
All have been injected with Heptavac P Plus, been wormed with All-verm, have had FEC samples done and anti-fly strike treated with Clik. Feet have also been trimmed and they will have been run through a footbath prior to departure as well as being given a flukicide before they leave (as weather has been particularly wet this year, so as a precaution. They are all bucket trained.
A really sorry sale. I will be incredibly sad to see them go. I would prefer them to go to ‘Forever Homes’; to smallholders or as grass grazers however I understand the wethers will probably go for meat, and that’s ok. I insist they travel in strawed out trailers on a journey less than 65km in length. They are very much loved sheep and this reflects in their condition and temperament and I will only let them go to quality homes.
Disclaimer....Please be aware that they DID have recently a tup lamb (Poll Dorset) break into their paddock and was seen being chased off by the wethers/rigs and the girls were moving away from him so I am pretty sure the ewe lambs have NOT been covered but there is a chance you could be having February lambs.
Buyers are very welcome to visit beforehand by appointment only.

And I am drooling over the grey shetland lamb Blinkers especially as I have some of her relatives here but I promised my husband no more Shetland sheep this year after we went to Wiltshire to collect a ram and came back with a ram and a ewe lamb and bah we don't have a stamp foot thingy.

LOL.... the reason I have so many this year Fronhaul is cos I don't have a husband to rein me in! I am left to my own devices. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
