Could she be a very poor CLUN

[Anke]

A possibility too I guess... yep, looking at the ears you may be right.

I think Clun was what the Animal Health lady thought she was too, Id never heard of it but reckon she could be right, at least a cross of it. The colouring is like Llanwenog but the stature+colour makes me think Clun now too.

Ahh if only Griselda knew she was a talking point!

my god, part sheep part goat part horse !!!!!  is that a breed? or plenty of mix and match!!

[andywalt]

the other 3 are they romney x texel?

[lachlanandmarcus]

ERrrr no they are all Shetlands!

I wouldn't have guessed they were Shetlands - I'm no expert mind, but my own are Shetland so I ought to recognise them. Perhaps is 'cos they're all white - makes 'em look like some softy lowland breed.

I'm feeling bad this am - I took my first (and only) lamb to Norwich market today. When I left him in a strange concrete pen on his own and got back in the car he was peering at me through the bars & bleating  . I felt bad about putting a tag through his ear - marking him as an item of livestock; Now I feel like a child abductor - his mum keeps looking at me as if she expects me to bring him back.

Oh well.

I wouldnt have said they were shetlands either, must be the camera angle and yes all white? mine are a mottled colour or dark brown, fairly thin, they look quiet chunky in the pic

[lachlanandmarcus]

I never said they were great examples of Shetlands! but Shetlands they surely are!
Heres the rest of the gang (again ALL SHETLANDS).

Sorry to highjack post

Mab where abouts are you didnt realise you were close til you said norwich market which is about 25 miles from us,i have been to the market quite a few times lately but sadly for me came home with nothing due to the fact that all the pens had about 10-15 sheep in so were sadly out of my budjet,i take it from your post you had a ram lamb for sale(as you said he)shame if id have known i am on the lookout for some company for my ram who is still in with the ewes at the moment.

Alas! I should have advertised him here! Oh well; too late now. 

I'm in Bungay (just over the Waveney so in Suffolk).

Whereabouts are you? - it's nice to know there's someone other than me & norfolknewbie out this way  Actually now that I think about it we should be on the members map...

Hi Lachlanandmarcus.  Your Shetlands look lovely    Maybe the white one in the first picture looks a bit odd because her little ears are weighed down by ear tags.  Griselda looks like a pure Clun Forest, but very thin, at least compared with the huge chunky one on my wall chart - 'British Sheep Breeds'.  Glad you got the ownership sorted out.
