Flock Reduction

For health and family reasons we are seeking to reduce our hobby flock. Nine Southdown ewes are available immediately, all pedigree and registered, and in good condition.

Born 2019, we bred from them very successfully in 2021, but not since.

Some money for them would be nice but our main objective is to have them properly rehomed as it would be a shame to sell them at market for meat, or to unknown buyers.

For more details contact: 07831139019 or 07826354237. Email; janet@liveinabarn.co.uk (Essex)

Please contact me Jonathan Gilpin on 07900 584576, I am based in Lydford, Okehampton, but happy to travel as have family in Manchester and Newcastle so can combine visits.
