Some nice coloured Wensleydale type ewes of startling colours and stunning fleeces in lamb to a Gotland ram, and a couple of white wensleydale cross Dorsets, also in lamb to the Gotland, due March for sale.

£50 each.....which is a bargain if you have seen the prices sheep are making at the moment!

They will provide you with some lovely lambs that will rear well, and one killed will have skins worth £70 if tanned. The wool from the ewes is worth a lot too and hand spinners will bite your hand off for it!

I have 7 available and they will make a great starter flock or 'interest' flock. Very friendly, do not jump, bucket trained.....in fact appear with a bucket and you will have to fight them off!

Reason for sale is I must cut right back as I am expanding the wool processing and there are not enough hours in the day.........these are lovely sheep and its a wrench

Hi there

We have just relocated to West Devon and have managed to get new holding no for this property (we previously lived in oxfordshire where we were registered). We are having to pretty much rebuild the house which hasn't been lived in for two years but we have 4 acres of lawns and paddocks. Our chickens came with us and my horse is down the lane in livery until his stables are finished at the end of March - we would ike to keep a few sheep and a couple of pigs so that we can have some self sufficiency ( we have 4 children and another on the way). Ideally we are looking for 2 or 3 ewes in lamb so that we can keep the grass down and rear our own meat. Do you have any of yours still available or are they all gone? We would look at a house cow however we live right on the edge of a TB hotspot so have decided against it for now.

Any help or advice you could give a pregnant mother would be gratefully received!!!

Could you let me know. Many thanks
