Hi, we have a good Suffolk ram that we no longer need. We got him to keep for the longish term but having lambed once and we have decided that its not for us. He came from a local pedigree breeder and has produced some lovely lambs. We are in Derbyshire, I don't know if that's too far away from you?

Regards

We have shearling Southdown rams for sale but are a l-o-n-g way from you, in Herefordshire.  The nearest we'll get this year is the Southdown Sheep Society sale in Welshpool, Powys.
