We have a buyer interested in purchasing 2 ewe lambs. 
Her family raises alpacas and they will be adding
sheep this year.  They are picking up 2 Wensleydale
ewes at MDSWF this week.  Are there any problems with
the 2 breeds mixing?  We only have Jacobs, so I
couldn't tell her.  Wensleydales are a very large
breed (according to the website I found).

We're hoping to sell these ewes-we had a bumper crop
of 13 lambs this year, 7 ewes/6 rams.  We had 6 sets
of twins, which was defintely unexpected.  We are
selling several lambs for meat (and keeping several to
butcher for ourselves), but we really need to
downsize.  Our pasture can't handle our current
numbers.

Hope to see some of you at MDSWF.
