Title: WANTED, shetland tup - scotland
Post by: LOCHBYRE on May 03, 2013, 07:23:11 pm

hi all,
We are looking for a tup to add to our flock. We would like a patterned tup, not a solid colour in the hope of getting some mixed colours and patterns. Ideally something with panda eyes or spots and spodges ( not the technical term I know !!) Don't really want a Katmoget as we have quite a few ewes who are Katmoget.
We are based south of Glasgow but wlling to travel a couple of hours anyway for the right boy !
All our flock are bucket trained and very friendly , so prefer an easy going kind of guy !
PM me please if you have anything of interest.

I've got quite a cute little fella (only 3 weeks old at the moment) who has panda eyes, if you're interested. He'd be available at the end of August - I'm in Cumbria. He'd be able to tup 10-15 ewes by the autumn. His dad was a grey katmoget (one black gene, one brown) and his mum is a moorit, both registered. Both his mum and dad are ridiculously tame, eat sultanas from my hand - and the lambs are already learning to.

Here he was at a week old:

Let me know what you think - I was half thinking of keeping him myself.......
