Having seen and read threads about Ouessants and Shetlands I getting very tempted to start a flock of one of them. We have seven Portlands at the moment but they cannot keep up with the grass (2 acres) we have not fed them, except the ewes after lambing and they are all fat! Three of the older ewes (barren this year and 10) are destined for the freezer and we have tree entire rams that I will either keep together with the ram or else they will join the older ewes. That would leave me with three ewes and a ram - so might get them serviced and then try to sell him. So either I could rebuild the Portlands with bought in ewes -possibly at hoof or could I combine different flocks of ewes. Any thoughts about mixing them and any ideas about where I would purchase any? we live in Somerset
