We have a few ( 4 or 5) in lamb ewes and some nice ewe hoggs for sale for flock reduction. Used to being around people. Mixed colours. Sheep are kept at Cleish near Kinross.

Hi there
I'm interested - I haven't kept sheep before but we have been thinking about getting some shetlands for grazing our field and giving fleece and some meat,
Do you have a price in mind and do you want them to all go to the same place? we have about a 3 acre paddock that needs grazed as we're planting trees on the rest of our land. We have poultry, hens, ducks and shetland geese and pigs just now. we're in Angus - not far from Kirriemuir.

Hi, are your ewes registered too? Any white ones?

Hi, thanks for your interest ...a bit more about our shetlands. We are looking for around £45 for the ewes and £25 for the hoggs. They are not registered but could be if inspected ( we have kept records ) and they are all coloured, no white ones.

Cheers

we have 2 white ones, both of which are in lamb...and maybe, judging by the size of their bellies - TWINS! am so excited.

and we get our pigs at the weekend.....

Hi Aliclare, I am only staying with white ones at the moment. Makes it easier to get some new ones without OH noticing straightaway that there are more than were the day before, ahem..... but on a serious note my breeding strategy is currently white only.
