Title: Wanted: Two Kerry Hill wethers, Spalding, Lincolnshire
Post by: Steel on August 22, 2018, 04:02:24 pm

I'm looking to buy a couple of this year's Kerry Hill wethers to grow on for Hogget.

Ideally like to collect from the Lincolnshire area.

Your much better off with Welsh Mountain IMO. I just culled my last elderly Kerry Hill ewe. I kept them for 10yrs before moving to Lleyns and have gradually been breeding out the Kerry Hill..

Simply put they are totally crackers.. Look amazing out in the field and wonderful mothers, but a total nightmare to handle and move around!
