Title: Hello!
Post by: Rowantree1 on March 30, 2015, 12:37:35 pm

Hi I am new to the forum. I have a place in the Scottish Borders, where I keep 3 horses and 10 Shetland sheep. Am looking to sell at least 4 or 5 sheep to someone that will keep them for their wool, rather than consumption! There are 3 wethers and 7 ewe hogs.   :sheep: :)
 :)

hi from fife i have 10 shetlands but mine are definitely bred to be duel purpose boys go in freezer girls produce more :-) wool from all of them hopefully, daughter is learning to spin and i suppose long term this will govern which ewes we keep based on fleece as well as ease of management.
 
do love my sheeps though!  :love: :love: :love: :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: :love: :love: :love:
