£200000 Suffolk

…and will they soon be selling ‘NZ’ish’ genetics?

I do hate pouring cold water on your flights of fancy. But the facts are: There are 4 ewes not 2 : EasyRams did not buy them: EasyRams wont be selling their offspring: Unfortunately EasyRams will not be receiving any money for their keep or any share of their progeny's eventual sale proceeds. They hopefully will form the start of a very very small NEW Crosemanor Flock (assuming the purchaser is allowed into the Society). I am trying to upload the purchasers picture at the moment but our computer is playing up, so for the time being his identity will remain only known to his grandfather.

The owner of the 'New' Crosemanor Suffolk Flock- Seth Hulme. For anyone wishing to acquire UK Suffolk Genetics off him in years to come I would recommend early gifts of chocolate cake and Jelly and Ice cream.

It’s good he knows what he wants at such an early age!

These Sandyknowe Suffolks must be even easier to keep than the NZ ones if young Seth is head shepherd

Cake and jelly are proven 'likes' Sheep are current 'hopes' though he does have a sheep hat complete with ears when it is cold so here's hoping!

Certainly his Grandfather wont be able to catch them in a field next April if they need any assistance when lambing

yeah and it’s not a nz Suffolk. Wonder what he has got so against them and what does he know that his grandfather isn’t telling us?

 

[R.Dutchman]

Maybe he's got his great grandfather's genes and he'll be targeting Shrewsbury and Lanark!

 

[M-J-G]

It’s good he knows what he wants at such an early age!

Exactly what I was thinking.
He's maybe looking forward to hiring out his rams that escaped through the hole in the fence and tupped the neighbours NZ Suffolks.

I’m sure they will welcome you back with open arms. You can almost see the story in next year’s yearbook, explaining how you have seen the folly of your ways, and strong bones really are what’s needed to keep those cabbage heads up.

If it weren’t for the £200k story, you might even have made the front cover.

We really do welcome your concern for our welfare!!! and your optimism. Need to be careful or Seth might be blackballed before he starts

Much bigger risk is that NZ Suffolk tups go OVER the fence and tup his ewes

Always good to have a bit of humour - it helps the world go round .

I have just watched the video and I was horrified that anyone would contemplate breeding from what couldn't be further away from a commercial sheep if you had tried.
It is almost deformed with legs like tree trunks and it has no back end conformation. About the only EBV it has is for its black head which has probably been touched up with boot polish.

These Fancy rams get fed up to 7kg of concentrates a day too, how is that at all commercial?

200,000gns for one lamb isn’t commercial?

It's not, it's a total joke. Unfortunately the folks that feed to that extent can afford to do so because they are at the forefront of the breed and the other members of the magic circle plus some mugs are daft enough to buy off them.
