Title: Anyone travelling up North to Lanark
Post by: Brucklay on July 31, 2014, 09:37:03 am: Just thought I would ask in case - is anyone travelling up to the smallholder show Lanark from the Peak District area - probably too far but just in case.

Looking at trying to get a gotland ram lamb up from Roxy - I can take it from Lanark to Aberdeenshire - thanks for looking :thumbsup:

So long as I did not get to the RB sale and come back with something. Will take a pic of the ram lamb when the rain stops. His father is a lovely colour - almost white, and mother a nice darker grey, almost blue looking. He was born 6th April, and is growing well. We are 1000ft above sea level here, so he is used to rather bleak conditions!!!
