Title: Good Homes Wanted
Post by: Rowantree1 on March 30, 2015, 02:26:34 pm

 :sheep: Hello! :wave: I am looking for homes for about 4-6 pet Shetland sheep they are all bucket trained and a most are very friendly. I have a small flock of 10 at the moment but finding 3 acres is not enough for sheep and 3 ponies to share! I have 3 wethers and 4 ewe hogs born last May and 4 gimmers. I live in the Scottish Borders. Good homes more important than price (£45 each)

 3+4+4 adds up to 11 .... ;)

Are these registered with the Shetland Sheep Society? If not you may find that their value is somewhat lower than your suggested price.

There are only 10!  :-[ 2 of the Moorit ewes are registered. Good homes more important than price. Main concern is that they can be kept for wool or as pets. :fc:
