There are a number of ways  – listed below – for members to offer stock for sale and buyers to see available stock.

PLEASE REMEMBER: Before buying any sheep, always check the pedigree status. Ask to see the pedigree certificates or proof that pedigree certificates have been applied for. The Society rules are:

• All lambs must be birth notified in their year of birth.
• Female sheep over 4 months of age then have to be registered by the breeder before being sold.
• Male sheep must be birth notified and can be registered by the breeder or new owner (if a member of the SSBA).  

If you are a member of the SSBA you can use the search facility on Grassroots to check the status of any sheep.  If you not a member of the SSBA then contact the Registrar (registrar@shropshire-sheep.co.uk) who can check the status of the sheep.
