Castlemilk Moorits and Boreray sheep for sale, Cumbernauld
« on: March 25, 2013, 07:20:07 pm »
Just saw this in FB"

Owing to Council cuts, Palacerigg Farm Park near Glasgow is being forced to reduce numbers of pedigree registered sheep.  There are a small number of Boreray females available, also 6 homebred Castlemilk ewes and a Castlemilk Moorit ram (Auchenstroan Arthur).
 
 Please contact Head Stockwoman, Lucy Gillie, on [email protected] for more information and please share to ensure good, pedigree breeding homes are found for these sheep."

I'd have the Castlemilk females in a heartbeat, but don't qualify as a "pedigree breeding home", sadly.

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Nah, I've agreed not to get a primitive tup for the foreseeable, and anyway I like crossing them for the interest.  And the fleeces  ;)

But if no-one wants them for pedigree breeding, then I'll have 'em  :)  and have emailed Lucy to say so.
