We were atracted to them by there small size(due to the limited size of grazing we have available) there looks and rare breed status. Also the maintenance side of things looked lower than commercial breeds. Hooves, fly strike, shearing etc. I dont think this venture is going to come off though. I think the grazing availabe is to small. Time for a re think!

Thanks for your reply, I shall certainly be looking around for ewes next year so will be in touch again, We spoke to the guy called Richard, who Phil kindly gave us the link to on Donedeal, and he currently has a 2 year old Ram for sale, at 150 euro and this years ram lamb, at 80 euro, maybe it would suit you?
