Title: good home offered for companion for our wether gloucestershire
Post by: shotblastuk on August 11, 2014, 11:37:41 pm

Hi
We are looking for a companion for our friendly Cotswold wether whilst his girls are pre occupied with another man :love:
 Old ewe or castrated ram. Breed not important although the wife would like a Herdwick! (nothing nutty/agressive ill/ lame or goat like tendancies please)!!
We can offer a very comfortable and easy life to a suitable friend and a guarantee that he/she won't end up on a keebab skewer. Will collect. local only please. Stroud, Gloucestershire.

I have a 6 year old ewe (in good health), Black Welsh Mountain, who I don't want to breed from any more, and I'm not that keen on eating. She's very friendly. Cardiff area (ok, so that's not terribly local :D).

I have a 5 year old Southdown that's fully recovered from mastitis and would otherwise go to cull. We run a closed flock and have no orf, footrot, Johnes, Jaagsiekte or other nasties in the flock.  She's sound in teeth and feet, very docile, bucket-trained and has no desire whatsoever to eat a hedge if there's acceptable grazing to be had!
