Title: Starter flock of Greyface Dartmoor Sheep FOR SALE
Post by: Blinkers on June 18, 2013, 04:20:49 pm
3 ewes (2 x 2y.o and 1 x 3y.o) plus Senior 7 y.o Ram.   All registered with the DSBA, all up to date with HepP+, wormed and due to be sheared this coming week (w/c 24th June)  :thumbsup: .    Ewes have all lambed this year and the Ram has been a brilliant stock ram for us the past 3 years and still has plenty of 'go' in him yet.  Photos available - please PM if interested in more info.  Can deliver within a reasonable distance for cost of fuel.
Thanks for looking

Tempting - whereabouts are you? what do the lambs reach at slaughter size approx & how much does the wool fetch & do they make good crosses, as if we took them on we'd probs use the tup alongside our texel tups on a commercial flock x

 :wave: Hiya.   I've crossed them with my Ryelands as well as a Suffolk cross and even my Zwartble Xs and the lambs are always a good size.    The purebred lambs are quite small I find as they are a medium size breed and the ram lambs have probably been about 38kgs APPROX come September/October which is when I like to finish all the meat lambs by.     The fleeces are heavy at shearing and I generally sell them privately although a few go into the wool sacks.   I've even had people from abroad asking me to post them! and which I've done.   A doll maker came up to me at a show last year and bought some for Dolls hair!   
Let me know if you'd like any more info.
Thanks for your interest.
Mandy
