I have a small number of Polled Dorset ewe lambs for sale as breeding stock. My lambs have been particularly good this year (even if I do say so myself), some of these little darlings are already almost as big as their mothers. Their father has just won the best lowland ram in the local show (He's for sale too, if anyone is interested). The lamb which was rejected and bottle fed even won a second place for best pet lamb which surprised me as she was sooooo tiny at birth, but not for sale 'cos we love her to bits. Well, whats enough self congratulation!!!! Back to the ewe lambs in question..... I am looking for around £85 each for them if possible. For those not familiar with the breed, they are sturdy and placid and can become very tame if given attention so great for smallholders, especially those with children. They can breed twice a year as they do not have a set season like most breeds, but I don't do this myself. I am based in North Wales if anyone wants a look. Cheers.

I have actually made a decition not to have the old boy (Norfolk Horn Ram) that was coming with my little flock on the 3rd of October, so I will be looking for a new Ram, when did you say they were going to market?

Hi Andy, Have received your message - not sure whether my reply made it to you though - Being as unobservant as I am, I did not notice the 'do not reply to this message' bit at the top of the email!!
In short, you're not too late - we are going to market on the 20th. If you didn't get my email, please let me know and I'll resend it direct to you this time. Cheers.
