so today my dad and I went to see a guy in gloucester and we have purchased a really good ram. He is in the top 5% and he is the son of a champion Lleyn tup from Exeter, a year or two back. Really happy with the purchase :) Also really good news I may just have sold my homebred shearling ram to a guy up the road, plus a friend is going to buy my previous stock tup to this new one I am bringing in. Also I have a dealer coming on sunday to buy my ram lambs, dont worry I wont let him haggle me below the current mart prices. Really exciting times!

I was wondering how you had got on so thanks for the update!

well my joyous week didn't last, I had a feeling something would go wrong. The guy who is supposed to have the shearling ram hasn't got back to me, he said he would ring to arrange a visit, he hasn't; I then texted him and he hasn't replied, I fear it may be another timewaster. All the time I have to keep my shearling ram indoors away from my ewes as he knows where to escape, its like fort knox here! I really need him gone, as he wants to cause mischief and I just can't take it anymore :'( Does anyone know someone who needs a ram to work immediately?
