What are you looking for?
We have some Hebridean wethers at 19 months who will be heading on a one way journey, probably in the new year.
If you let us know exactly how much, or how regular, or if you're looking for something older, we may be able to help.

Not really, sorry.  We rear hogget (16 months) but enough only for our own consumption, the family and a few regular customers.  A few years back, yes, but not now.   I don't know anyone who sells older Heb meat online, so I'm no help at all  :(

Why don't you ask your local RBST group?

Try the Duchy in Gloucestershire (web site i think). Organically and ethically reared. Top meat.
