Hi,
After our adventures with pigs, We have finally become sheep owners.
We have just taken delivery of seven older Wiltshire Horn ewes, one of which is pictured. Very excited!

Wiltshire Horns always look so aristocratic

I know that's a llama but they have the same look

Enjoy your new venture - you won't regret it

Good luck

in your new venture. We started out with 3 Zwartbles ewes and a tup

, now up to 20ewes, 2 tups and followers. Sheep are addictive.

Oooh Mantha, I hope they are not too addictive. We started with three weaners just over a year ago and at the last count there were 24 pigs on the premises!
