But my Greyfaces still have that little 'something' extra ........ as Hazelwood knows


Yup: horrible feet!  But a lovely temperament.  The GFDs at Builth were laid-back like mine
Being certain just means you haven't got all the facts

That's good news. Have you thought about showing them in the local shows this year or is it your Grey Faced Dartmoors?

Definately taking the GFDs but I MIGHT take a Ryeland too........ just worried about the "trimming" malarky  ;D
Coloured do not have to be trimmed as extensively. If it is a lamb wash & tidy face & tail . Try it the show bods will soon put you right. Try out one of the very small shows. :thumbsup:

Ok, if the coloureds don't have to have all that trimming and whathaveyou, then I'll have a go with a lamb  ;D    Do they go in AO Lowland????

Could be.  I would check with the show organisers and they should put you right.
