WANTED - Greyface Dartmoor Ram / Ram Lamb
« on: June 05, 2013, 10:54:40 am »
Hello,
I currently have 3 GFD ewes from the Muddle flock and am looking for a registered ram/ram lamb to use this year. I would also like to expand my flock with a couple more registered ewes ready for breeding this year.
However , I am really struggling to find anything! I know there are sales at the end of August in Exeter but we had a bad experience there last year so would prefer to buy privately if possible. Does anyone have anything available?

Many thanks  :sheep:
Liz

Hi Liz,
I might be a bit far (Carms/Pembs bornder SA34) but I do have about 3 ram lambs from my homebred ram who is by one of Sadie James' Hazlewood Rams (so a top notch line  ;) ).   I've also got a couple of ewes that I could let go and a handful of ewe lambs if you were interested.
Drop me an email if you think you might be interested.   We have a holiday Annexe which you'd be welcome to use for an overnight stop if you think the trip might be worthwhile.   Take a look at the website www.glynelwyn.co.uk or the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/glynelwyn.faithmead  for lots of photos (Go to photos on website and click back to Winter 2012 for majority of early lamb pics etc.

Cheers

I haven`t been on TAS for ages, but this morning had a look on the sheep section and to my great surprise one of the members has posted a photo of my naughty "Greyfaces" at the Suffolk show ;D -small world isn`t it.

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for getting back to me  - Great Yarmouth is quite a long way from us but I'll be in touch if we can't find anything closer.


Best wishes

 :wave:  Hi again - we submitted our farm tenancy application today.  If it goes in our favour we will be in touch for some sheep - we love them and realised later that it is probably yours we have seen at Claxton too.

Hi Chase View,
I'm sorry you had a bad experience at Exeter. I do have a registered shearling ram I could sell, but no females at present. Where abouts are you?

Hello Hazlewood,
