Alright guys,

further to the other thread, thought I should start up my own with a bit more explanation- Mrs. Captain is starting going into schools to provide education on diffferent types of animals and creatures ranging from exotic to household to farm yard. Particularly with the farm yard animals she aims to help educate kids where food actually comes from!!! Orphan lambs will be a welcome addition to the 'flock' and will go onto run with the rest of my Portland sheep once they're all grown up.

We're in North Dorset but will travel to collect!

Regards,

Captain

That is fantastic a lot more people need education on where our food comes from. I would love to help but unfortunately I need every penny this year from my lambs maybe my luck will change and I can help next year.

Hi, I have a tel no for the place we get ours from it is near Cheltenham so not sure how far from you, they have hundreds of sheep and so, many orphans, although they dont start lambing until April, pm me if you want the number
They are Romney cross we have had them for the last few years, always turn out well
