 Spotted an ad on ad trader site, Welsh black ewes and tup for sale £50 each sounds cheep enough to me especially if they are pedigree.

I thought I read about loss of grazing for the reason.

I'd want to know why they were cheaper than cull price - with sound gobs and bags they are worth almost double that.

Yes, the person has lost their grazing, but they could sell em very quickly at £75.
