Title: Herdwick Tup for sale - Grantown on Spey.
Post by: Ziggy on May 26, 2013, 08:23:49 pm

Hi, I have a Herdwick tup (13 month old) looking to sell or swap for similar for breeding at the back end of the year.

Also have a small number of Herdwick ewes (again all 13 months, did not use for breeding this year) available for sale. Anyone interested let me know.

Hi,

As they're all the same age, is it right to assume your tup and ewes are all closely related?

Therefore you're not selling them as a starter flock in their own right....?

Many thanks.

Hi
 
Is the ram an Accredited ram?

No, not accredited but most definitely 100% Herdwick.

Tup and ewes have been sold however we do have a number of Herdwick tup lambs (born April this year) that are surplus to requirement if anyone is interested.

Would think £80 a head to a good home would be a fair price.
