We hire out both Southdown and Badger face rams. We have a high health flock and breed our own replacements, so our rams won't take orf, scab, footrot, CODD or any other nasties with them. The usual hire period is four weeks and folks collect them if they can although we will transport them at cost for those that don't have a suitable trailer. In practice they cover all the ewes in under three weeks. They are quarantined for six weeks after return.
