 Have a look on Preloved.
 Pedigrees seem to fetch about £125 - £150.

What colour/age are the ones you're getting? And do you know the pedigree names behind them? A very rough guide would be somewhere around the £150 mark for white shearlings and a little more for coloured. A ewe with a lamb at foot is generally somewhere around £225 to £250. But then again, Ryelands are lovely and as soon as you buy some they'll be worth ten times more in personality and pleasure!
