Ewes need a home

I received an interesting email yesterday. I share it with you now in the hopes that someone will be able to help Peter.

Hi- for the past 33 years I have kept a flock of approx. 15 coloured romney type ewes with bloodlines including Bramblewood farm (Jo Sleigh), Jan Tuytel, Joan wooten, Joan Yates. I have a very nice coloured yearling unregistered (but good breed character) ram I wish to trade for an equivalent. Also- I NEED to reduce flock size. If you know anybody who would like some very good healthy ewes, please have them contact me.
My partner was a spinner.weaver.knitter for many years- and gave it up due to arthritis... so the sheep were bred specifically for quality of wool. They have quite a long staple-about 6-8 inches, and good crimp. Not so fine as merino or corriedale, but good handspinners' wool for sweaters, blankets etc. A bit of scottish blackface in them- way back. Nice range of colours from charcoal to light grey, with others having some brown in them...We want to sell about 10 ewes, and either trade or sell the ram (He was our best lamb from last year, and was lightly used late in the breeding season)
