I would use him but he is a real dinky Dorset as he was hand reared and still showing absolutely no interest in the ewes as yet.

I personally think he is a bit young and after a bad lambing year this year i need something proven!

Thanks for the comments though x

Maybe it depends on the breed. I've found shetlands to mature very early!

Has any within reasonable travelling distance of Turriff (Aberdeenshire) got a Herwick ram for hire? Preferably registered. I've just the two Herwick ewes, so not worth buying a ram, but would like to breed them pure this year. Thanks.

Someone on here was selling Herdwicks (in Scotland, I think) - he might be able to help. Look in Marketplace.

Hercules is certainly proven and has been working his magic with the ladies since the beginning of the month...

Ooo - can I hijack the post as well? We are preferably looking for a Grey Faced dartmoor Ram, or failing that, a Leicester Longwool, or failing that a Shetland ram (if he could cope with our big fluffy GFD's and leicesters)

We are based in oxfordshire. Would also consider buying him. Thanks

Due to being totally let down i am still in need of a ram. Dinky dorset still oblivious to what he is supposed to do...

Must be cheap, friendly and able to deliver if possible.

Many thanks
