Sheep For Sale & Wanted
Cil Wenllan Flock, Machynlleth | Machynlleth, Powys, Wales
Cil Wenllan Flock is a medium sized flock founded in 2014 by a retired scientist who enjoys the science of sheep colour and pattern genotypes and of fleece quality. I send fleece samples for OFDA 2000 fibre testing for all breeding stock at first shear and provide fibre test results to buyers, as well as genotype information.
I select for sheep with friendly personalities (if rams, should be deferential, not fearful and not aggressive), correct and solid conformation, good mothering, and fleece with a high CF (comfort factor) and good staple length (target 10cm). Currently breeding from Approved ram Castell Glenfiddach.
For prospective buyers, I am willing to deliver sheep within a reasonable distance, and am happy to provide ongoing advice and mentoring to new shepherds.
As of May 2023 I have three shearling ewes (born 2022) for sale, available now, and a selection of older ewes (born 2019 or 2021), ewe lambs, and wether lambs available from July which may be viewed and reserved now. Shearlings and older ewes are up to date on Heptavac (boosted in February), lamb vaccinations are delayed due to national vaccine shortage but should be done and boosted in July. Viewing welcome at any time.
Email for photos and more detailed information, or to arrange viewing. Note I am difficult to reach by phone due to lack of mobile signal.
