Title: lambs wanted
Post by: Jamie12 on August 17, 2014, 02:46:46 pm

On behalf on a friend. To be used mainly to keep a small paddock tidy/go in the freezer. Field is on a slope and a bit exposed. Limited budget. Will consider up to ten. Open to suggestions on breed/type. Cumbria/south Scotland area.

Are they castrated?  Better stand by with the first aid kit in the Autumn if not.
