When James bought me my Dorset sheep, I had no idea just how much I would love them... they gave me more lambing experience in two weeks than I had had in 6 years, and they gave me 7 little girls, including my beloved Ellie Mae.
So......... when it came to inquiring about the Dorset Horn and Poll Dorset Breeders' Association, it made sense, that if they were coming to inspect, then to purchase a few more before they came would save on a journey!!!! Well that's my excuse anyway.......
We went back to Picton, where the first 6 came from and as they were just sorting their flock, they agreed to let us have some of their hoggs.... they are 18 months old, and are ready to be tupped for their first lambs....... as the others are also ready for the next batch, they can all go to the tup together! They are in desperate need of clipping and have so much of their first wool that they can hardly see!.... once it stops raining, we'll get them done!
