do you breed them?
We used to breed breeding stock, but now we are selling off any younger ewes as we are retired and so are they.
There are breeders in the isles and the Highlands, for example Eagle Brae, Strathglass, Beauly,
[email protected] (they also have holiday lodges). I can give you other contacts if you need them. It's always best to buy local with Primitives so they are acclimatised and used to the local pests.
Our ancient, rather clonky website has some details of Multihorned Hebs:
www.scothebs.co.uk Also have a look at the main Hebridean Sheep Society site:www.hebrideansheep.org.uk, although it's a bit oriented to the deep south. Note, the HSS has a breed description, not a breed standard, which allows for the variations within a native breed.
Other Scottish Native Breeds are of course the Shetland, the Soay, the Boreray and the other one from St Kilda, whose name I have temporarily forgotten

I understand what Sally is saying about sticking to one breed, but you don't have to make up your mind straight away. Do some research, visit some local folk who keep each breed and try not to fall in love too soon. All sheep are wonderful, so take your time and remember if you want to change your mind, all sheep also taste delicious
