No, RBST. I have coloured Ryelands, which don't feature at the Show.

Post by: tobytoby on June 18, 2012, 09:23:54 am: I am going - to try and find some elusive white Ryelands for sale ( not show stock but just good looking lawnmowers?) - which if contacting the RBST members is anything to go by, i will come back empty handed?

6 - 8 ewes/lambs/castrates + 1 unrelated ram wanted!!

Should'a' gone for coloureds lol

Carlisle in September or maybe Thainstone for the Northern Ryeland Group show and sale. Did you try the Ryeland Flock Book Society?

Post by: tobytoby on June 18, 2012, 12:55:59 pm: Rosemary - this is what happens when you listen to the women in my house, i agree i should have went coloureds!!

I am working my way through the flock society website and i am getting more emails bouncing back (not recognised) than i am getting answers.
I am amazed at the prices that people are asking, i am not tight but i cannot see how they justify these prices £250 - £300 per ewe lamb??

at this rate i will end up with UGLY sheep ???
