Hi
Im a newy as were still starting our renovation over near Tarland/Aboyne but I am a member of rbst so can help out here...
Founded in 1973 to conserve Britain's native livestock heritage - and since then, no breed of British farm animal has become extinct.
web address is www.rbst.org.uk
You get a lovely mag with hairy beesties in it!

I have been a member for quite a while - if you go to Thainstone for the poultry auction - May & September - RBST always have a stand in the concourse. |

Picked up a leaflet of theirs from Thainstone this morning.
| Quote: | This is a friendly club, which exists to encourage the keeping, breeding and use of rare and traditional breeds of livestock, whilst promoting and fundraising for the main RBST organisation. It is not essential to own llivestock to become a member!
Meetings are usually held on the third Friday of the month at the Royal British Legion, Fyvie, (between the schoool and the old bus depot, plenty parking) at 7.30pm but during the summer there are visits further afield for farm visits and practical events.

Yes, I am very interested, Sass. I think MonkeyNuts is interested too.
They also had a Harvest Supper where you bring your own home made (or home reared) food to share in October and a Club Social Night in November. They seem fairly active and they are only in Fyvie.
I definately want to do the sheep handling day because Himself has agreed I can have some shetland sheep  |

shetland sheep, i once had a couple, dont want to put a dampener on it but i would advise another breed, shetland sheep have a reputation for being vertually uncontainable, ordinary fencing doesnt work on them, i bought some because they were cheap , i ended up giving them away , all i can say is life was a night mare for about a fortnight or so. mind you i would definately have sheep again, just not shetlands.

| Hmm, thats not so good. Although I totally love the shetlands, I will do a lot more research about different breeds before committing to one. Thanks for the tip PPG - just the sort of information I am needing |

Ask BB how they manage - they have several Shetties as weel as other breeds. They are hill sheep, so yes, they will be good at climbing and jumping, but so are a lot of other breeds.
