Title: Rare Breeds and me
Post by: Peter Howells on June 10, 2015, 07:18:40 am

Hi my name is Peter Howells and I live in W.Norfolk. I have kept animals all my life. I love rare breed sheep and my latest project is to establish a good sized flock of both Boreray currently 10 breeding ewes-9 ewe lambs all being retained plus hopefully 5 more coming from Cheshire. I also keep N.Ronaldsays and a couple of Rough Fell. My only problem is finding someone to buy my excess ram lambs for a reasonable price!! Anyone local please get in touch

Welcome and well done you for supporting these rare breeds.  :thumbsup: Is direct meat sales not an option for you either to individuals or a posh butcher?

Have you approached your local Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers and/or other spinning groups?  There may be folks there would take wether lambs on for a fleece and some meat ;)
