:chook: :chook: :chook: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :(
this is a very sad posting but i have made the decision to sell all stock and move on. As some of you may remember we have been looking for a bigger home to accommodate elderly parents, but still have some land in herefordshire for a long time. However we are now able to move further away and have found the perfect house for us BUT it has no land anywhere near. so for many personal reasons i now have for sale the following
5 Torddu ewes born last year and registered £50 each or £200 for all 5
4 coloured ryeland ewes born last year and registered £85 each
2 shetland ewes ( my favorite girls) 1 of which is very friendly offers as good home essential couldnt let them go for meat :(
3 chickens complete with large coop and feeded and remaining back of feed
Approx 10 shetland fleeces that have been stored in my polytunnle (black, moorit and grey)
once the animals are gone i will also have
hay rack on wheels, only 3 months old
galvanised trough
Hurdles - will count them later but approx 7 galvanised and 2 homemade wooden ones
quantity of black electric fence posts
50m electric netting

Sorry to hear you're having to give up your stock and I hope you get good homes for them.Good luck for the future too - and you don't have to leave TAS. We don't do home checks :)
-
Wishing you all the very best
-
Hi, have pm'd you :)

Sorry to hear your news. A new phase in life.
Shame I'm broke.
-
Sorry it hasnt worked out as you hoped, but as you say and new beginning, and who can say, perhaps the start of something even better. I will keep my :fc: for you Good luck with everything :thumbsup:
-
Hope it all works out for you. A few years down the line you may find that even though you think you've given up smallholding it hasn't yet given you up!
-
Won 't you have a garden? Vegetables, Fruit and maybe a few hens? That's still smallholding in my book!
-
thanks everyone - badger face girls being collected at the weekend. will be sad to see the girls go but its a new start for all of us, moving to a long term rented house with an annexe in Cumbria, plan of house suits hubby who has a bad back and will be able to live on one level, good schools and college for the boys and its in my favourite part of the country - great for my photography and who knows what the future holds :fc:
-
Sorry for you you are having to let your animals go, but glad that it sounds as though you have found somewhere that will be better all round for you all. And of course a great part of the country :wave: There are plenty of sheep - and spinners and knitters - up here for you to get to know :). Let us know once you're settled in and we can fill you in on some of the local places / people / groups of interest.

I've pm'd u :-)

All the best will be selling all stock also in 3 weeks all the best VF
-
I am a great believer that when one door closes, another opens. Life changes for all sorts of reason and I do hope this is better for all of you. Hope your animals get good homes.

Not looking to increase on stock, but have been looking for a polytunnel, notice you had one of them. Could you possibly email me with details if you are selling it.

Hi cwmfarm123 - have emailed you

I may be interested in the Torddu ewes - have they ever been lambed before? & are they in lamb? & how much for the hurdles? x
-
Hi Shropshirelass - the Torddu ewes were collected today and the hurdles are spoken for - thanks anyway
-
Ok not to worry x

Sorry you have had to sell your livestock, but it sounds like you have found a nice house, which is ideal for you, so things have worked out ok for you. Hopefully you will still come on TAS.
