Where can I buy a pet sheep to keep at home?

[JonnyBoy12]

I would really like to know where I can buy a sheep as a pet in the United Kingdom. Would I buy one at a market as I am sure that pet shops would not have them? How much would one cost as well? I have heard the figure of £80 mentioned. One person who keeps one was not allowed to take it on a bus I understand.

I thank you for your speedy and helpful answers, folks.

Don't do it unless you have a brass neck. People will talk.

lol :o)

why would you want a sheep? sheep are sociable animals, one would be unhappy. Do you have a field, and suitable sleeping arrangements?

Get yourself a girlfriend, people will talk less!

You'll never get it up the stairs, jb.... and they poo a lot. and you'll need an agricultural vet.

They grow very quickly, imagine watching telly with a sheep (mind you, at least you've having something comfy to put your feet up on, but your coffee would fall off)

I don't know the answer but it's a great question Johnny. I'd like one too. A sheep lives in the garden of a big house up the road from me, he keeps the lawn down.

[Psybbo]

Maybe somebody could rustle one up for you

[mazie]

Well, we're having roast lamb if that helps ;o)
