Title: Castlemilk Moorits and Boreray sheep for sale, Cumbernauld
Post by: Rosemary on March 25, 2013, 07:20:07 pm

Just saw this in FB"

Owing to Council cuts, Palacerigg Farm Park near Glasgow is being forced to reduce numbers of pedigree registered sheep.  There are a small number of Boreray females available, also 6 homebred Castlemilk ewes and a Castlemilk Moorit ram (Auchenstroan Arthur).
 
 Please contact Head Stockwoman, Lucy Gillie, on [email protected] for more information and please share to ensure good, pedigree breeding homes are found for these sheep."

I'd have the Castlemilk females in a heartbeat, but don't qualify as a "pedigree breeding home", sadly.

You could be.

Nah, I've agreed not to get a primitive tup for the foreseeable, and anyway I like crossing them for the interest.  And the fleeces  ;)

But if no-one wants them for pedigree breeding, then I'll have 'em  :)  and have emailed Lucy to say so.
