Castlemilk moorits but younger than yours. 17months-ish.
Got them from Brookfieldfarm on here, they've happily munched grass and caused no problems all summer, just need to get through the hurdle of loading them and getting them to Wrexham next week.

First experience of keeping sheep, these have been easy, sure the next ones won't.

Why go to Wrexham? has the abatoir at Llanidlois closed?

Because Llanidloes are too big to bother being nice to people with two sheep who'd like the skins back. He actually told me 'I won't be offended if you take them somewhere else'.
And it also means I can use one place for sheep and pigs.

About 10 minutes closer than Wrexham, more expensive, charge extra for the skins back, extra to pack in seperate cuts and WAY more expensive for pigs.
No thanks.
