As above really. I am expanding the business this year (thanks Natwest). So I am looking to buy in some more ewes. Anything wanted really from shearlings up to full mouthed sheep. But no culls. I have a farm I buy ewe lambs from so no need for them either.

Preferably performance recorded but not a deal breaker if not. I intend to start recording next year anyway.

I know it is a bit of a long shot but if anyone has or knows of any for sale if you could give me a heads up it would be appreciated. I am trying to avoid buying from market if I can.

Sorry for the long winded post and thank you in advance (y)

Of on a tangent, but if you are planning on starting recording the flock next year, surely that's even more reason to buy recorded females? why risk paying out good money for ewes that could be on your cull list when you start using ebv's?:scratchhead:

@neilo absolutely, and i would prefer to buy performance recorded. All my current Lleyns are from a recorded flock but i only have 70 of them. I have very recently gone on my own (away from the family :mad:) so upping numbers is the most important thing at the minute. But i would much prefer recorded sheep but if unrecorded ones came up at the right price my situation may dictate buying them.
