I don't think I actually said I wanted to support rare breeds, don't get me wrong I am all for it but at the moment that's not my priority. The owner of the flock entioned earlier which I assume are unregistered has kindly offered to give me his flock so will discuss it in more detail next week when he gets back. I am just looking forward to having a nice wee flock of something different and if ide at some point to go down the route of registered rare breeds other than the 4 registered shetland sheep I'm getting in august then I shall be in touch with the appropriate bodies.
Apologies for any spelling mistakes but the buttons on therse blackberries are stupid

I dont register my WiltsHorns either - I mistrust breed societies in general for almost any kind of animal.

They just seem to act as a conduit for breeding for colour or shapliness of head or prettiness of face or some other pointless physical attribute over soundness, width of genepool etc. Even if the breed society has good intentions, these types of policy seem to often come to the fore.

I won't buy an expensive mobile in case, I kill it, previous deaths have been cased by leaving on gatepost (safe place) Whilst working with sheep and getting rained on, falling out of pocket whilst riding horse, getting rained on, horse stepping on phone, falling down the toilet, dropping phone in cup of tea, classic! I think the sheep are so lucky I'm not a clumsy person!

Im in aw that you two can work blackberries!
