10 shetland ewes (young ones), gimmers and ewe lambs for sale due to flock reduction. Mixed colours. Nice girls. £25 (ish) each

What a pity I am so far away from Fife (274 miles to be exact!). I am on the lookout for some Shetland sheep, but only place they crop up round here is the minority breed sales, and even then not many.
I do have family in Glasgow, who come down regularly, but I can just see their townie faces if I asked them to call and collect some sheep for me!!!
-
Same here :( I really like the Shetlands too. I'm a little bit further north than you Roxy but not much!
I have no idea of actuals costs but I'm guessing transportation would be astronomic for a small flock ???
-
Ali & Clair any moorit among the flock and can they be registered
-
Hi Bigchicken
Original ewes (in 2000) were registered and it has been a closed flock with tups coming from registered breeder so I think any of them could be registered ( We have details of who is related to who) but would have to check with Society to be sure. Have several moorits amongst them.
Cheers AliClare

I bought two of these great sheep from Ali & Clare in great condition fantastic, very well looked after and at a bargain price
-
What a lovely big bird you are! Hope the girls are well. Baaaaa.
-
Both doing well the lamb is a complete pet and runs to me as soon as I get in the field and wants attention. The ewe has not quite made up its mind yet but is thinking about it.
-
Big update the ewe has twin ewe lambs fantastic, she had bad pink eye and was in poor condition at tuping time what a star. I have big respect for this sheep.
-
Thats good news about twin lambs!! Its nice to hear about what happens to livestock for sale on this forum!!
Bigchicken, the lovely bantam hen I got from you some time back, has been laying well, and has now gone broody and sitting on some eggs :D
