Just four tup lambs left. Thank you to everyone who's bought a family or three :)



Moorit katmoget tup lamb 99 (Pretty Eyes' lamb)



Grey katmoget 25 - grey katmoget ewe's lamb. He's not huge, unlike his sister and mother, but he has the best face markings of all of them.



Black tup lamb 25



Grey katmoget tup lamb 100
Both the last two are the fawn katmoget ewe's lambs, so each will have a black and a brown gene, giving you a variety of lamb colours.

Sorry you are having trouble, and parting with your sheep.  Hope all get sold, and to good people.
 
I, too, am selling up.  I find it really upsetting parting with my lovely goats, and even this years lambs, but its got to be done, and I suppose once it is, we will both feel better x

Thanks Gary.
Roxy, I'm really sorry to hear you're selling up. Completely? It's horrid, isn't it.
I'm trying to hang on here, so I can keep my goats and poultry, but it depends how greedy the nearly-ex gets.

Two tup lambs still available (the two bottom photos), if anyone needs a nice, unrelated one for their flock.

Shame I've left it too late as I am looking for a couple of very tame pet sheep!  All the best in finding homes for your 2 tups.
