Hello
« on: February 06, 2014, 11:38:20 am »
Hello all, I am new to the forum and would like to say hello,  :wave: we live on the West coast of Wales and are smallholding hard, our main interest is sheep :sheep:, we keep a small but growing flock of 20 Charmoise Hill ewes, a small Lleyn/Lleyn cross flock of 80 (+/- !) for commercial lambs and sell a few tups and teasers each year.

Hello from Stroud :)  :wave:

I keep a small amount of shetland and shetland cross ewes which I cross breed with Charollais and Charollais cross rams and I did breed kunekune pigs but due to lack of time had to give the pigs up.

I am picking up some Charmoise sheep this weekend from someone in West Wales....  :thinking:

Hi thanks for the welcome everyone :thumbsup:, it seems like a friendly site. If anyone is interested there is a Facebook site Charmoise Sheep Breeders with photos of some of the little critters. Me
