I'm selling a coloured Ryeland tup - my first ever lamb, Li'l' Bud. He's just turned a year and is a lovely chap. I will really miss him but I have his mammy, his auntie and his four half sisters, so he has to go. No market for two headed lambs. I'm quite anxious about it.

I'll have the trailer with me so COULD buy, but we'll see. I havent seen the catalogue yet.

Change of plan - we're going to wait for Lanark or Stirling. There's nothing we're (ie me) interested in buying and it's a long way to go - cost us more in diesel than we'd get for Bud (no disrespect to the wee man).
