hi
dessertmum
i am in the exact same position as you,
i am going against our farmer friend who says stick to commercial lbut we feel on the small acrage we have then we are going with Ryelands
we have been to see a couple of flocks and feel it is the best for us at this stage
we will no doubt pick a couple of cades up in spring
good luck

Princessrubyk  - we are going to look at some Ryelands this weekend - very excited.  Going totally against our farmer friend and family farmers! But I have a great lady locally who is giving us plenty of good advise.

quality my farmer has 600 acres in the midlands
easy to go commercial ha
not on our 2 acres

i am in leeds what about you

[desertmum]

We are in Suffolk - we had looked at Suffolk sheep but they aren't so foot hardy as the Ryedales and our land gets wet in the winter.  Our flock number should arrive tomorrow and we are good to go.   Oh, and we have to finish the stock fencing . . .

thats what we are doing tonight the stock fence, hopefully have sheep by end of month
