There’s a thread (https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/blacker--beyond-with-ffsb/3952142/1-25) about them and their fleeces on Ravelry.

Just fetched out a recent copy of The Northern Farmer and noticed that DS won the Interbreed at the Great Yorkshire. It looks tidy.
You'll find sale prices on the DS club website https://www.dutchspottedsheep.co.uk/ (https://www.dutchspottedsheep.co.uk/) in fact on the sales pages https://www.dutchspottedsheep.co.uk/stock-for-sale/ (https://www.dutchspottedsheep.co.uk/stock-for-sale/) it has prices for ewes with lamb at £530. Prices will fall as interest picks up.
Edit: Show and sale in Carlisle this Friday 30 August (tomorrow!) https://e.issuu.com/embed.html?d=dutch_spotted_300819&u=ninaoxley (https://e.issuu.com/embed.html?d=dutch_spotted_300819&u=ninaoxley)
