hi folks a quick question i have been offerd two black faced sheep for 100 euros each they ate 1yr old os that expensive ?? and are they hardy thanx

[ScotsGirl]

If well grown then no I don't think so. I am selling some black faces, Suffolk crosses, and will be looking for £100 each. It might be expensive if boys for slaughter.

I think the OP means Scotch Blackfaces - and 100 euro could be good, could be bad, depends on the breeding/age etc.


But yes, they should be hardy.

I think the OP means Scotch Blackfaces

Scotch is whisky... 

Scottish Blackfaces in Brittany? Whatever next! Didn't think they had them anywhere outside the UK...

[kanisha]

they do have scottish black face outside of the UK but in this case I suspect they are more likely to be plain old suffolk crosses.

S B sheep have been exported all over the world , big flocks in south america

hi all well i have just picked up my two new girls i think that they are sbf ewes but how can i make sure ? 1yr old looking good came from a breeder in brittany mainly for training sheep dogs !!!! going to try to find out more

[Ina]

Maybe if you post some pictures the combined efforts of all the sheep experts on here can come up with some educated guesses? Short of a DNA analysis, I suppose that's the best we could do...

[lachlanandmarcus]

Scottish blackface ewes are horned, are these? Would they be if they are crosses?

[hexhammeasure]

suffolk crosses are usuall hornles but can have small nubbocks, Scottish Blackfaces are always horned

[raygezer]

hi they both have horns and they look the same as ive seen on titernet i dont think they will put up with my dogs they are already standing up to them.  one question what are they like for stayin put in there field thanc

[SallyintNorth]

C'mon, raygezer, we want pictures!     Some of us can tell a Swale from a Scottish Blackface, a Scottish Blackface from a Hexhamshire one, a Dalesbred from a Rough Fell... and love to do it too!

If they are horned black-faced hill sheep, they'll stay behind a fence only if they have enough to eat.  Otherwise, only if it's a really good fence.   And yes, they will test a dog; dogs that know hill sheep know how to pass that test.
