We will be picking up our starter flock of Castlemilk Moorits this Thursday, 7 ewes and a tup. I think there are some wethers still for sale, I will ask for you and send a PM.

Thanks, but me neither!  (Be patient.)  I am wanting some wethers so I can see if the breed suits us here, and if we can sell / use the wool and like the meat, before plunging in to getting a small breeding flock.  But if those wethers don't turn up soon, I can't promise I won't jump in the jeep and set off to Hampshire where they're selling off the Blacklake flock...  (please don't tell BH...)  Oh!  I'll have to tell BH, he's the only one can transport them that far... unless I also secretly take that trailer test...
