My daughter (aged 11) keeps a flock of 13 badger face ewes. They are really good fun, look fantastic, and all the breeders we have come across have been really helpful and encouraged her. I don't generally like lamb, preferring to eat mutton, but I have to say that the badger faced lambs are the best lamb we have eaten.
Also, remember that there are two colour variations to choose from, which adds a bit of interest.
Where abouts are you based? They can be quite hard to source if you are on the east coast, but in Wales and the borders, they are quite easy to find.
