Title: Dorset Downs
Post by: JemL on October 01, 2012, 07:09:19 pm

I have 16 ewes of which 12 are shearlings, all purebred Dorset Downs. I am looking to sell them - does anyone know anyone who would be interested? Based in Suffolk.
Thanks

Hi
 
These ewes are nothing to do with me but I know the keeper.
 
They are well looked after and ready to go to the tup soon. If I had more space they would have a new home already!
 
There is a genuine reason for sale and I know the keeper is willing to consider sensible offers and will split the flock if needs be.
 
This is a great breed of sheep to keep and are on the RBST site as a minority breed , below is a link to the RBST fact sheet:

If you are looking for breeding ewes and want a fast maturing traditional breed these ewes are worth a look.
 
regards
