More than fit to travel. Loaded and unloaded themselves. Just at the extreme small end of Shetland ewes (could be sub 20kg). And BCS 1.5?

Like I said, better than paying Douglas Brae to take them away.

Hell, I've bought breeding ewes from Lerwick for less than £10 on several occasions. There was a packet came down this year that were £3.

They travelled from Shetland fine. And at least 1 of them is in lamb.

For all the moaning about meat processors we do I'd think they could have a tough time especially now with high prices they will be screwed to the floor by supermarkets I'd think.
These guys would be supplying restaurants and private butchers shops though, although they can be just as tardy at paying as supermarkets
