Hi Tirdu,

I am afraid the only Greyface breeds I know are near me in Tavistock, Devon.  They are very well known - have you tried contacting the breed site http://www.greyface-dartmoor.org.uk/?
They should be able to help.

Good luck!

There's two ewes and a ram for sale on the RBST website in the Stock Exchange bit.

Hi there,

I know of a lady near Welshpool who breeds Grey faced. She's won a number of Championships too. Email me at [email protected] for more details if you are still looking.

thanks the terms are in breton and relate to white and black versions of the mainly black ouessant interesting that breton and welsh are so close.

We bought our Dartmoor ewes a month ago from the lady in Norfolk who advertised on the website
http://www.greyface-dartmoor.org.uk/for_sale.html

Very good sheep in lovely condition but a considerable distance from you.
