Hi, from Dumfries
« on: June 28, 2013, 08:07:06 pm »
Hi,
Just found this forum and think it looks a great place to be.
My husband and I have a small flock of pedigree Zwartbles sheep which we show on a regular basis around the south of scotland and north of england. Have a Facebook page with all their pics on it.:sheep:
I also have a small flock of hens - cream legbars, rhode island red, maran crosses and exbatts. With these girls I show eggs which pleases my customers when I do well. :chook:
We have 2 working border collies, one black(Jill), one red(Queen) and a border terrier called Bumble. :dog:

Yes we are MV accrediated and also on the Signet scheme. We regularly weigh lambs etc and it means our tups/ewes are them performance rated. Havent had any lambs back scanned for muscle depth like some others have.
