At some point in the near future an ad will appear from me in the marketplace, as following completion of lambing we have to make some difficult decisions and sell some of our girls. It's a very personal thing but OH and I will never send them to market. I work in agriculture and I know my way round a market and it's not a [place I'm ever sending our stock. So that leaves the important question of where do I send them. Ideally some lovely soul on here looking for a starter flock of 4 ewes, poss with a lamb or two thrown in will bite my hand off within minutes. but assuming that might not happen, where do people sell there animals if market is not for them ? I have bought on Preloved, but do I sell on there ?

I found that if you are just selling a few to smallholders, then advertise them when the grass is growing well - ie june, as that's when many backyard/pet sheep are bought.
