Title: Alban. the Tup
Post by: Andrew on September 27, 2009, 10:32:52 am

We purchased Alban at Stirling yesterday as mentioned by Rosemary in another thread. He is a Katmoget Shetland shearling tup. We introduced him to our four Shetland gimmers last night and he was immediately made very welcome. This morning he was stood at the top of the field surveying his land and his ladies and has now been renamed King Alban the first of Blairshill as he is so regal and so very obviously in charge. He has been well cared for and is in tip top condition and is very friendly and quite happy to get handled.

King Alban of Blairshill  ;D It has a lovely ring to it.
The image it conjured up in my head made me smile  ;)
Let's hope his reign is productive and happy !
