Blackface draft ewes

[Bcow]

Always bought swaledale drafts for our own mule gimmer lamb production, but fancy the scotch mule having more power and body, where's best to go and buy blackface drafts with biggest selection?

What sort of prices?

Anything from poorer ewes off hard hills in the £ 40's , to good quality gimmers at £100+ on last year's trade as a very rough guide.

No guarantees this year will be the same of course. We'll just all have to wait and see.
