Title: New Ryelands owner!
Post by: korucarm on September 21, 2016, 09:24:09 pm

Hi! Prompted by my super keen 7 year old, we have just got 2 Ryeland gimmers (shearlings!)! We know a little bit about sheep but this is a new undertaking for me and my son and we are looking to raise them as chemical free and naturally as possible (without jeopardizing their health of course).  :D

Hello and welcome to the forum. I would have retired altogether but for a keen twelve year old grandson!!

Hi there fellow Ryeland owner. I starting keeping them two and a half years ago as a complete novice. Had my first lambs this year. Wow that was nearly as much a shock as having my own babies  ;D
Love them to bits and so do the rest of the village!  Trouble is they were supposed to be for the freezer!!  Whoops a daisy!  Never had a problem with sending the pigs off but these are just soooo lovely.  Better toughen up though, not enough grazing for all of them.
Happy holding  :thumbsup:
