Hi all i have recently gained 3 soay type sheep in with my herd with no tags(have the holes) all seem friendly and follow bucket but what do i do as cant find owners locally, can i tag and keep them if so how do i record them ect.
Cynical me thinks they are some ones pet sheep that are now not so much fun so been dumped. Hence all missing tags but holes for them- smacks of tags being cut out IMO-.
However BONUS FREE SHEEP
Excellent!! If you have your own already, quarantine these guys, worm, vaccinate, de-louse, foot bath etc.
Chat to your AHO but I reckon it will be red replacements for the tags.
Are they male/female? Rough age?
If female you have time to put them to the tup, if you want to and can find a smallish one!
I wish I found sheep on my doorstep
ETA just seen they are already with your sheep so quarantine is moot, but I would still drench and vax
