Hello Sue,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. In Virginia I think I am lower than most. I sell lambs for $75.00 each, adults $100.00 each and exposed ewes $125.00 each and pregnant ewes $150.00 each. If you are not sure if your ewe has been bred ALWAYS state the ewe has been exposed and not pregnant. Never use the term pregnant unless you are 100%. Exposed meaning the ewe has been with the ram for what ever days they have been together. I think he got a good deal from what you told me. Sorry to butt in for Mary but I thought this might help you also. This is just Food for Thought!

We recently sold some adult ewes and told the buyer that they " should " be bred - we didn't guarantee it - just said they should be. 2 of the 3 he bought lambed already but the 3rd one hasn't. He feels he was cheated cause he paid $100.00 a piece for ewes that were 1 1/2 yrs.old. All 3 of these ewes lambed this spring and we gave him 8 to choose from. Have we done anything wrong? There is no way to guarantee a ewe is bred without a vet test and he didn't ask for that. We have one here that didn't lamb this fall with the rest of them either - at least that we know of. That does happen now and then doesn't it? That a ewe will get "missed " by the ram. Just curious. _________________________________________________________________ Get dial-up Internet access now with our best offer: 6 months @$9.95/month! http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup =============================================== This message is from the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep mailing list (http://www.awrittenword.com/listserv/index.html).
