I acquired 10 in lamb Cotswold ewes two months ago. Does anyone here keep Cotswolds?

Hello. Yes I keep Cotswolds of varying shape size and age. Only a small flock but will be increasing this year hopefully. Have you joined the breed society? where did yours come from? I bet there's some tingewick bloodline in there somewhere!!

Hi Shotblastuk,

Yes, I have joined the breed society. Mine came from Derek Cross and are in lamb to his prize winning tup Westcote Izod. There are no Tingewick bloodlines in recent generations.
