Looking to buy a Dorset ram

[Betania]

I am looking to buy a Dorset ram, and I can't spend much more than $500 dollars. It would need to be either within reasonable driving distance (within a couple hours of Zanesville or Cambridge, OH) or else be able to get a ride.

Unfortunately I am probably too far from you, in NC. Look up Dorsets and Day lilies on the club lamb page. Kirsten has some good Dorsets

Do just be aware that $500 is not much of a budget for ram of any breed that will throw show quality lambs. If you are just looking for a commercial type dorset, you may be able to one in your budget though. I understand a tight budget. I paid $500 for my first ram and thought I was crazy for spending that much on a sheep. But that was 13 years ago... If you are trying to breed show quality lambs, you might consider leasing a ram or finding a breeder that will let you breed your ewes to their own ram.

We are in Tennessee so we might be too far away but I sent you a pm on a few wether type dorset rams we have available

Ok, thanks everyone! I understand $500 is not much money, but it's all I've got. None of the lambs I've shown are REALLY show quality lambs, but I can show them and have fun, and sell them afterwards.
We bought our ewes from Mrs. Hatfield, and we have borrowed a ram from her the past two years. I really hate to keep asking her to borrow one. :-) We were trying to find a ram from somewhere else, if we could, but if not, we are going to ask her if she has any that are not very closely related to the ewes.
cwining1: You are a little far away, but I sent you a message. If we could figure out transportation a good bit closer, I would be happy to buy one of your rams.
