Hi,
I am new to this so sorry if I posted this in the wrong place!
I was looking for some cade lambs around the Staffordshire/Shropshire area and wondered if anyone could give me advice as to where I could get them from?
Thanks

It's still quite early for cades yet, another few weeks there will be more about.

Have a look at lamb bank website and register. There's a facebook group called Farmers Free Ads Lamb Search which is good too.

 Local livestock market - store sales, not fatstock.

Ok thanks for the ideas, will look into them and yeah I think we might need to wait a little while longer.
