Keep coming back now to the charmoise........

Found out that we got a young shepherd coming up today, he's looking to get in some lleyn rams, so that may mean that our boys will escape going to the mart, and also he want s some ewes too, may consider selling some pairs to him too, we shall see!

They are really lovely

just relatively unknown and highly underestimated

I would say come and visit mine if you want but that makes no sence at all as I am so far away, go and take a look at "Me's" sheep, you will get a tour of wales and his family are very friendly and welcoming

Go see this guy for fit/grass fed/performance selected terminal sires ---you won't be disappointed

Texel/Suffolk and SufTex rams---they are not fed anything but grass , they produce lambs that get up and go and subsequently put on weight on grass alone
They are nothing like the tex or Suf rams you will find at the sales

Another vote for these as terminals.

Of course you can't beat expanas as a maternal ewe...
