Hello, Thought I'd join as me & my partner are hoping to get some sheep as we too much land for our ponies so have done a bit of research on breeds we'd like so far we are interested in Shetlands & Herdwicks & Ryelands... :)  Zoe

Hello and welcome from East Clyth on the coast. We currently have 3 Ryeland ewes and 3 tups which are going to Dingwall Mart on the 8th November. You'd be very welcome to come and have a look at them.  This is a great place for advice and ideas.  :wave:

Sorry Feisty, it is OH taking the sheep to Dingwall as I am in East Lothian at the moment looking after my Dad who has Alzheimers. Watch out though - he is known to be partial to redheads !   :roflanim:  Hope you find what your are looking for at a good price.

lol.... we are only looking unless there is any Herdwick Ewe's there.... :innocent:  think for the Herdwick's we'll have to go to a breeder...!! Don't think we're interested in Shetland sheep now as just about ever person we have spoke to says they Escape....!!!  :-\  & for Ryeland's we'll hope fully get some of them at some point... ;D

we have Shetlands and must say they have never even looked at escaping, they like their home comforts too much
