Hi Sheep lovers.
How much should I be paying for Jacob (not pedigree) lambs?
I've been quoted £40 each but that seems a little pricey.

You could pay more!!
It depends on sex, age, parentage and looks!
Jacobs are becomming a great small holder sheep as they are hardy and make great mothers.

And yes......I own a wee flock!

Unless you're planning to breed, maybe just go for some commercial crosses this time round?

[Farmer Pete]

thanks all, good advice, I'm just off to a livestock market in Salisbury now to find some

[Hilarysmum]

Hope you found your sheep.   

[Farmer Pete]

yes I did find my sheep thanks
I meant to buy 6 lambs but I seem to have come back with their mothers as well
My wife has freaked a little - she says this not what she signed up for

[Rosemary]

What does she expect for a 7/6 marriage licence?

There are days when my husband reminds me he didnt sign up for this many pigs when Hilary came...
