Looking for 6 youngish ewes (1-3 years old) as a small starter flock. More commerical type breeds preferred.

thanks

Try Newark market for commercial ewes.  If you haven't kept them before though I would suggest that you don't go for maiden ewes and look for ones that have lambed before.  I am moving on to badgerfaces as they seem quick to mature when mixed with the right tup.  This year I have had really good results with ryeland x easycare.

If you get stuck pm and i will give you the details of my neighbours who keep commercial sheep.

Rosey
