Hi,
I have some Shetlands ranging from shearlings up to three shear and some Shetland x cheviot ewe lambs although the lambs probably won't be far enough forward to tup this year, they have all been born and reared on a hard hill farm, the grass here is all poor quality.
I'm located approx 20 miles south of Biggar, just off the A701, you would be more than welcome to come and just have a look, without any obligation to buy.
Regards
Sue

We are in Galloway and have 30(approx.) Shetland ewes to choose from.  All have lambed this year and are one crop to five crop.  There are white, black, moorit, katmoget, gulmoget and yuglet.  A small number are unregistered (although they are pure) but most are registered.  Our lambs would be too small to tup this year but are available for sale.  Would be prepared to deliver to Biggar for the cost of the fuel.  PM me if they are of any interest to you.

Hi,
I have a small flock of Shetlands which roam about 1,000 acres Gleniffer Braes above Barrhead Wong with about 400 Highland cattle and have some for sale .I have just put in a posting with details of 6 older ewes and my Tup but also have 6 x 2 year old ewes for sale and 3 x ewe hoggs. They are a mix of moorits,fawn and grey Katmoget colours. Most of these are from unregistered but pure ewes and off the pedigree tup details of which are in my posting. They all keep themselves as a group separate from the other sheep and thrive on the hill all year round.Lambing ratio this year 180% including those lambing to Texel/ Lleyn cross.
Pm me if you are interested .
Regards ,Martin
