Title: Texel X Orphan/Cade Lambs available Northumberland
Post by: sokel on April 13, 2013, 02:42:21 pm

Our friend who we are helping out has several Orphan lambs available. Mostly Texel X both sexes  and possibly a few Scottish Blackface males
These are feeding well on the Bottle/Bottle rack /bucket  and starting to nibble at creep
Priced at £15 each but she would reduce for larger  amounts
Northumberland area

I know the general wisdom is that we shouldn't do much until we've been there a while but... Can you wait until mid-May when we expect to move into our place?   ;D
